As mentioned I am looking to build a gaming/ streaming computer. So far I came up with this set up which quite a bit away from my budget . Majority of the games that I will be playing would be COD, BFV, Cyperpunk, FFXIV, Apex and Witcher. Want something that can handle anything I throw at it with max/ultra settings while maintaining good FPS. 
I am looking to play in 1440p 144hz, so if you have any recommendations plz include them in the build. Last thing I am located in United States (US) and my budget is roughly 2k-2.5k.

Looks good, just replace these SSDs and HDD with one 2TB SSD like Mushkin Pilot \ PNY CS3030 \ SP A80 \ Pioneer SE20G.

That's an excellent build, you could use 3600MHz instead for less :

If you want to spend more, you can grab a 2080S instead.

Yeah I was saw there one but I figured spend a little more for better timings 

A little bit more ? As in twice much ? It's not worth it. Get 3600Mhz 16CL kit, it's more than enough.

The power supply is a TX 750M gold plus 

That's good then.

Thank you. I was thinking of going 2080S but i dnt plan on playing 4K games just yet so figured 2070S would hold me just fine for 1440p gaming. A

It will, the 2080S is just better but for 4k even the 2070S is enough with some proper settings in game.

Would it be worth it to go X570 motherboards? Most of the build/ or reviews have mentioned to go b450 route. Also don’t  really plan on overclocking any time soon. @Plouffe @Juular

Then the B450 Tomahawk is enough ;)

You don't need more memory for streaming.

you are wrong, memory is important for rendering video and if you are streaming and gaming on the same pc you will need a lot of memory

 

I suggest you read up on things before commenting

TN would be preferred. Just bc I do play a lot of shooters more than anything

Good IPS panel would be just as good, and will have way better colors, viewing angles and contrast. VA panels can be a bit sluggy tho for shooters, yes.
