Current PC spec. in my profile.
Can I realistically call myself a gamer, if I only play ONE, twenty year old game...?

Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case?

WHY NOT...?!

Considering your budget and the prices in Singapore (going by PCPartPicker), going with Z490 makes little to no sense.

You'd be better off with a Ryzen 3600, good B450/B550 board and a 2060S/2070S and using that to stream using NVENC.
