Hey Guys im wondering if this setup is a good gaming setup. I will also be slightly overclocking the cpu. How far do you guys recommend overclocking the cpu? This setup will also be used for streaming, recording, editing, and photoshop and maybe after effects. feel free to make different recommendations and give me some tips. Thanks guys.

The cpu cooler is the only thing I would shy away from. Way better air cooling options that will improve overclocking. If you want to get a water cooling system, get a 240mm radiator system or none at all.

You can upgrade your CPU cooler to H100i. But overall... I like that build. It's more than enough for gaming and your needs. Good luck and happy gaming. And it's also more than enough for 3D hent*i.............jk

Noctua ! The one that costs around 70 - 80 USD. Noctua NH-D14 something like that. Your temps on max load will probably be around 45 degree celsius which is pretty F'in nice

Noctua is the cpu fan with the brown fan right? is seen it on linus tech tips and it seems like a pretty bad ass air cooler

Yes, the noctua nh-d14/15 are the best air coolers you can buy. 16gb of ram may get in the way though.
