2070 isn't in production anymore, neither is the 2070 super. Your best bet is to wait for ampere or get a 5700 XT if you want it now

Any specific reason you want an Nvidia card? The 5700 XT is a really great performing card that absolutely does not break the bank.

You should wait for Ampere to be announced literally tomorrow, and pick whichever card fits your budget out of the lineup and wait for it to become available for purchase. I wouldn't build right now personally, I'd wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If you have to get the parts now and don't want to wait I'd go for something like this, your build list is kind of all over the place with pricing(I'm guessing because you're going for aesthetic and cool over price to performance. This would be a better bang for your buck other than the RTX card(but you said you only want Nvidia if not then go for a 5700XT), you can get a cheaper board too if you don't need WiFi. Again, if you want a Nvidia card wait a couple months for Ampere to be readily available before you build the computer.

The B550-A Pro will work just as well and it's $40 cheaper, the SSD is SATA (not that it makes much of a difference but eh), the 5700XT TUF X3 is a dumpster fire, I'm not going to comment on the case, and the PSU is not necessarily bad but out of place in a build with a 5700XT.

The motherboard @Mateyyy linked is a perfectly capable board and $40 cheaper than the one you picked. The WD Blue linked is a Sata SSD, you can get an Nvme for cheaper. The Asus Tuf 5700XT is a bad card, so many issues. Are you set on that Asus case? You can get a mesh front panel and tempered glass case for much cheaper than that one. You can also get an 80 plus gold 600w psu for around that same price. I'll just link you a build so you don't have to worry about it.

So you would rather have aesthetics over price to performance? Is there specific reason you only want Asus Tuf components besides that?

If streaming's not that much of a priority for you and don't care for any of the other Nvidia specific features, you could go for a 5700XT instead and get a decent bit of extra raw performance.

I'd recommend these models that are similar in terms of price to the 2060S above:

The MP33 is DRAM-less though, so ideally I'd go for something else.

The Kingston A2000 seems to be out of stock, since that's usually really cheap and a decent option, so something like a Silicon Power A80 for a little bit more would definitely be worth going for.
