everything looks good in all honesty I haven't seen that brand of power supply and I would grab a branded one unless it is highly reviewed or highly rated. a stock cooler in place of that 212 evo and get a pack of pwm fans is what id do, the motherboard and PSU should be fine unless you plan to overclock your CPU, and the GPU would suffer slightly during streams but should be bearable to your viewers. at 144hz that would mean (theoretically) you're aiming to get 144fps and during a session of Tarkov it may hit around 90 but you wont see it gain much beyond that I'm guessing and you would only see gains for sacrificing some of your resolution and as for modded minecraft that can be risky depending on what kind of mods, textures and things you're doing.

Pretty solid in my opinion. The choice of case is yours but I was never a big fan of Bitfenix cases in general but given your budget it fits right in. I would have chosen something like a be-quiet 500dx instead. I would also consider reusing your old case, if the old hardware isn't being used anymore. If your old case lacks airflow, a hole saw to make fan holes is an easy way to it. Depending on what is available by the time you build the system, an ATX motherboard might be a bit cheaper.
