Hello, your build looks solid for gaming and streaming. The components you've chosen are generally good for performance. Consider checking if the Ryzen 7 3700X and RTX 2060 Super Advanced Overclocked are compatible with your motherboard and power supply. For the case, look for options under $100 that accommodate all parts—search for mid-range builds or budget builds that include a good cooling solution. Let me know if you need more details!
Almost every ATX-sized case accommodates these components. Usually, highlight your GPU first. Consider using a Ryzen 3600 with an RTX 2070 Super; you can find detailed guidance on pcpartpicker.com to plan your build. Don’t overlook the power supply either. If you share your region (US, UK, Canada, etc.) and budget, I can provide a tailored list.
Would it perform better if it was adjusted more? Or are you asking about using too much effort?
I think the R7 might be a bit too much unless you focus on productivity tasks like photo/video editing or music production. The 3600 CPU is a solid choice for gaming, though I don’t have to worry about overheating. I own a 2060 Super and it performs well, but it runs at around 75-80% usage even with high settings in COD. My main concern when picking components was storage space. I currently use a 1TB NVMe drive and will need more soon. Some games consume a lot of space quickly—like the latest COD update which took up 171GB! That’s about 17% used in just one game, likely higher after the OS takes its share.

It won't create any issues. The amount is significantly higher than necessary, making it a better use of funds elsewhere. There will be a CPU idle there, operating only a small portion of its potential and not being the optimal choice.
