I would do the first one but not because I like Intel but because I feel like the 2070 would be better for gaming and streaming and the sata SSD is also a better choice than the m.2 form. 

 

If you wanted to stay ryzen then I would change the gpu to a 2070 because the Vegas were never really that good for gaming.

The 2700x one will easily be the best. It has 8 cores and 16 threads. All the threads help with multitasking and will let you stream smooth gameplay to viewers, and let your game still be smooth, too. The only thing I would change about the ryzen 7 2700x build, is that a 850w power supply is more than needed. Get a 750w or 650w at the most. Make sure you refer to the PSU tier list for PSU choices.

2700X but with a 2070/2080, not a vega 64.

Also you don't need 850W, a 650W PSU is more than enough.

Ryzen is better for streaming, especially more than a 9600k. Also, Vega isn't that bad for gaming.

Third build simply because it has the extra cores, unless you wanna use Shadowplay. If yes, then first build.

Gonna shoot that right back at ya.

 

I'm not gonna lie, I do like Intel but I'm also not afraid to admit that Ryzen is way better right now for pretty much everything and I like Nvidia because there cards don't always look like bricks with fans, plus they do tend to score higher in gaming.

Honestly using nvenc for streaming regardless of what CPU he buys is best IMO.

 

The 9600K and 2700X will both be good, 9600K will get higher fps in most games but the 2700X with 16 threads is good for multitasking while streaming, for stuff like voice chats, streamlabs, watching your own stream on a second monitor, etc etc etc.

 

More flexibility.

Fair enough, I guess it does have cuda acceleration. I wouldn't of recommended the OP a brick v64, because he picked out the triple fan sapphire nitro+, which is like the best air cooler vega card.

On the Sapphire website it says 850w recommended, it puts the build to around 400w. Still 750w though would you say?

even a good 550w will do for a vega 56/64.
