Saved up some money during this school year and have €1500 (1675 in america) to build a streaming/gaming computer that also needs to do for school work. I am taking classes at my school that are for programming and may want to start experimenting with Keras and Tensorflow (Machine Learning) Are these Hardware intensive tasks that can’t be done on my budget? I have have desk, mechanical keyboard (dragon k552) and mouse (Corsair harpoon) should I uprgade those? and I need room in budget for dual monitors.

All in here is to minimize cost while keeping performance on acceptable levels for the things you want to do, gaming wise always use NVENC for streaming and recording, have Tensor Cores for deep learning too.

 

You can upgrade peripherals any time, invest on those by last

This is a great rig man.  Nice job.  Only drawback is a 2070 can play at 1440p but yours is 1080p and what not.  The price is good tho and if you game at 1080p then these are good dual monitor setup and what not.  Also please note in July new Zen 2 7nm fab and 16 cores Ryzen and what not.  If you don't think you need 16 cores then pull the trigger on this system as prices will go down a slight bit but not by much.  good luck
