I will mostly be using this build for AAA gaming and content creation/streaming. I have a 1060 3gb right now that I'll use a a placeholder card until i can get my hands on a 3060ti or a 3070. I will be doing overclocking and I do have a microcenter near me hence the reduced prices on cpu and motherboard. My max budget is 850usd so if there are any upgrades fixes or ease of use improvements i could make please let me know.

That's actually a really solid list IMO. You could consider an SSD with DRAM like an Intel 660P but if you are just gaming your SSD will be fine.

I found the MSI Z490 MAG Tomahawk open box for 167.96. is that a good board or not. if not I'll go for the aorus elite.

So after some revisions I ended up with this as a result. I changed the ssd back as i am only gaming on it and i added some aesthetics and changed the cpu cooler. Are there any recommendations you would still give me?

Personally it looks good but the Scythe Fuma 2 (youre old cooler) is a lot better.

Motherboard does not matter for performance, you pick one for features like I/O or expansion slots.

 

And AIO != automatically better, there can be good and bad both AIOs and normal heatsink coolers.

 

What does matter however is SSD: you picked DRAM-less (although with HMB). I suggest Intel 660p or Crucial P1, as others.
