2. Main use case for the PC will be Gaming/Streaming. Basically just want 1080 60 while streaming and anything better while not.

 

3. Right now i have 1 1080 60 monitor but plan on uprgading to a 144hz monitor eventually

 

4. Will need windows.

 

5. Not upgrading, will be my first rig.

You don't need a key to install or use windows, but you can get one for cheap on ebay anyways.

Overkill RAM because it's cheap right now.

 

Look around for aftermarket RX 5700s, for some reason the part picker either doesn't have them, or their super overpriced for canada.

You could almost get an R7 3700X with the better GPU, it's maybe 15% faster on average, 20% depending on the game with 3600mhz RAM

I'm pretty sure the 2070 super isn't going to be worth the extra $250 over the RX 5700/XT
