The brand doesn't affect performance, however, the speed does. I see you have 3000mhz RAM, so you should be good to go.

Also, what are you going to be using this build for? If you're using it for gaming, the 1950X probably isn't the best choice.

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch).

Brand name like Kingston and Corsair? No, their performance change according to specs like frequency and timings, not brand name.

 I’m going to be using it mainly for 50/50 gaming and streaming and while I’m asleep Bitcoin mining. Will this be decent for that

Hey there, a solid PC build you have. However, I think it might not be the best PC for what you're going to use it for. Streaming do require some cores, but not as much as what Threadripper provides. On your use case scenario, a Ryzen 7 or an 8th Gen Intel i7 would provide better performance while gaming and streaming due to a most common higher 6 to 8 core clock speeds. As for Bitcoin mining, I don't have a concrete data on this, but I strongly believe that the Hashrate is too difficult now, that a high-end consumer PC won't get enough Bitcoins to cover for electricity cost and bill of materials.

 

However, $3000 for a PC like this isn't bad at all. If you really want to go Threadripper for other reasons more than mere gaming/streaming performance, then I would say it's a solid PC. As long as you avoid Bitcoin mining, then you're basically good with your PC plans.

 

I would also like to make this build suggestion: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g7PcGG

It's a mini tower with emphasis to aesthetics.

Edit: I have a few concerns on my build suggestion which I need confirmation first. Sorry for that.

1.) The SSD RGB will be plugged into the RGB Header of the 1080 Ti Strix since the motherboard doesn't have its own. I don't know yet if that will work smoothly.

2.) The Smart Device will be powering 2 RGB Strips, and 5 RGB Fans. The Smart Device can do either, but I don't know yet if it can do both. If not, then a Hue+ is required
