Budget (including currency): 1.300.000 (HUF) / 4000 USD

Country: Hungary

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Hunt: Showdown, Battlefield V, RDR2, and a tons of other games while streaming with OBS. There will be some video editing and photoshopping.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

I am currently gaming on a GTX 1080 Rog Stix card with an I7 6850K and 32Gb HyperX Fury black 2666Mhz ram and with the new 3000 series I want to upgrade from it. I want an all white build and my question is should i wait for RTX stock and build it after or should i build it now using my current GPU until there is stock? I accept any changes and suggestions as long as it fits in to aesthetics. I am questioning myself with the motherboard and CPU, I have no experience with the Ryzen line and Motherboardwise I am thinking ROG STRIX Z590-A GAMING WIFI / ROG STRIX Z490-A GAMING just because there is more white but I don't know how much a downgrade it is from the MAXIMUS XIII Hero. And i will need Wi-Fi because there is no Lan in my room right now.

 

I am currently gaming on a 1080p 144Hz monitor but I want to uprgade later to 1440p so I accept monitor recommendations too.

I'm not a big fan of the Intel board. You should get Ryzen for the better multithreaded workloads that you are doing. I tailored this build for you, I think it is the best for you.

I think you should use your current GPU, sell it when RTX 3090;s are decently priced, and sell your old PC. This means you get a top of the line PC. If you get around $700 to sell your current system, you can get a better motherboard, and a bigger M.2 drive or more ram.

Also, I'm not a big fan of the white theme, they often cost more, and you cannot get decent specs on them.

Why are you spending so much on a monitor when Op only needs a 1080/1440 144hz monitor? Why are you spending so much on case fans? Why a 970 EVO? You can fit a decent PCIE GEN 4 SSD instead.

 

Lastly, why the X570 board and 64GB of RAM? That is completely unnecessary.
