Question First time builder - Ryzen 5 3600 + RX 5700

[Ryuoki1]

So I've been looking for a build to stream Dota 2 and some other mainstream games on. (Like Apex Legends, Overwatch, etc..). My goal is to run dota at 144 fps+, while streaming. On top of that I'm going to buy a freesync monitor, so I was considering amd's newsest realeases : Ryzen 5 3600 pairing up with RX 5700. Will this be enough?
I'm also not sure on which chipset should my motherboard be B450/X470/X570.

For streaming at 144hz you may want to consider the 8 core 3700x over the 3600. Dota is not a hard game to run, but stream does put more strain on the CPU resources. So you may want the extra cores on the 3700. The 5700 should be fine for Dota.

Not sure if 3700 will fit into my budget.

Get the best CPU you can afford. The 3600 is a very good CPU for the money and you will be able to stream with it. You just may not be able to hit 144fps all the time, but it will still get good fps while streaming.

this is the exact build that i have in mind and i'm looking to do the exact same thing, play Dota 2 at 144+fps without streaming at the same time. I'd think this build should suffice?
