You don't need the TX3 - it's not better than the stock Wraith Prism. The paste is optional. A 3700X is a good 15-25% faster than the 2700X. The board and drives are fine. Added a cheaper GPU and less overkill fans and power supply. Added a decent case that won't be a nightmare to work with.

Budget & Location. 1650 US$

Aim. Gaming for now, but will eventually be used to stream (PC and PS4) and then later to be used to develop games (3D Indie).

Monitors. Initially 1 @1440p-144Hz, then another one when I get into streaming. Would like get up to 3 curved monitors for "maximum immersion", but might also go with a Wide/Ultrawide @1440p~144Hz curved and a portrait monitor on the side. Curve tightness doesn't matter a whole lot to me as I have plenty of desk room to position. I'm taking recommendations as I haven't exactly decided yet. Budget for new monitors is between 500-850 US$.

Peripherals. I already own an Arctis 5 (2019 vers.?), DUALSHOCK 4 (PS4) controller, HyperX Crossfire Wired Mouse. I do not own a keyboard yet, but I already know exactly what I'm looking for there (Cherry MX Speed Silvers). Looking for streaming equipment and haven't done much research on it yet. Don't want to spend more than 150 US$ on: Mic, Stand, Camera, Pop filters, etc. Open to suggestions.

Why I Am Upgrading. I currently own a Dell (pls don't hurt me) Gaming (it gets worse) Laptop (it was a gift, I swear). It runs League of Legends with max settings at 63 fps. Yikes. I know that there is a big problem with thermals and it is thermal throttling when I play video games because when I crank the AC to MAX I can play up to 80 frames for a few hours. I want to replace the thermal paste, but I want to have a functional laptop in one piece with nothing broken more. Plus, I'll need somewhere to get the OS from. 

Additional Info. I live in Ohio, so the outside temperature is consistently unstable, so I rely on air conditioning and keep it around a 69-72 degrees fahrenheit. I am very open to suggestions about possible build paths. Reason I went AM4 was to eventually upgrade to the 3900's. Games I would like to play with the new rig: Far Cry 5, Borderlands 3, Outer Worlds, MH:W, WoW, LoL, Minecraft, DBD, DS3.

Wouldn't get an X570 with that chip, nor the additional cooler.  32GB RAM is a bit much for now, how soon are you developing games?

 

$110 in case fans for a  $50 case?  Buy a better case, IMO.

 

Monitor... UQ should be curved.  Desk size has nothing to do with it, as the curve conforms to your position.  Just a better experience for a monitor that wide.  Tons of them in your price range.

 

Edit: 5x5 has a good build there.

Yeah, I can't deny that that looks much, much, cleaner. I'm kinda novice at building and part individual part knowledge. Thanks for the help!
