Hey guys. Building myself a streaming/gaming PC. I am going to be streaming at 900p 60fps, and playing games like Fortnite, BO3, and probably CSGO / TF2. Fortnite (low settings and 1440x1080) BO3 (medium - high setting) CSGO (all low and 1024x768) TF2 (all low). The build is

GPU: GTX 1060 3GB DUAL FAN
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 2x4 2400MHZ
HDD: 1TB TOSHIBA
MOBO: B350 GAMING PRO ASUS
PSU: 500W EVGA 80+
and a 60hz monitor 1ms. How will this perform in games chosen? Will streaming quality be good? Upload speed: 5MB. If more information needed, just ask and I'll provide 😀

It looks good. I would recommend you getting 2x8Gb ram directly as 8Gb will be the bottleneck of your system.
Also consider using SSD. Its a must have to optimize your gaming experience, electric bill and your time (much much faster loading and game performance)
Rather than getting Ryzen 5 2600x, you better off with Ryzen 5 2600. Its basically the same cpu and you can safely overclock it to get similar to 2600X later when you get more accustomed with it. The only disbenefit of 2600 is you will get shorter heatsink, well standart heatsink (even those on 2600X) normally sucks anyway. Use the money on ram or SSD.
