What is the frequency to your ram kit? AM5's sweet spot is DDR5-6000MHz with tight latencied, ram kits. You forgot to mention the make and model of your case. Personally would've added a secondary SSD, smaller in capacity for the OS and the larger drive can be for your gaming library.

Good build overall.

my ram kits are DDR5 6000mhz
and my case is the MSI MPG Gungnir 300r Airlow.

Depends what you’re wanting to do in terms of resolution and settings
I will be using it for streaming/gaming and screen recording

Depending on how much this cost you, that greatly determines the "value" of how well you did with the build, but given current pricing you did very well. You may want to consider a 12 core X3D CPU when they come out in the future if you find that streaming and playing games drops the performance of the games at all. The 9600X is a great CPU for gaming, but streaming, multiple tabs in a browser, discord, and streaming via OBS simultaneously may not perform the best depending on the game.

Then you need a better CPU. Something with at least 8 cores. The 9600x is a really good gaming CPU. But it cannot do what you want without maxing out quickly, causing stuttering and instability.

You'd be much better served with a 9700x or a 7800x3d/9800x3d, or even a 9900x

You're build is much better than the pre-built PC. Some good choices there. Just the CPU will haunt you when streaming and gaming at the same time. For pure gaming, it's perfect for right now.

At 1440p your chosen GPU is good. Nothing stellar though. It will max a lot of games, but particularly new AAA games, built on UE5, for example, will use up that 12gb frame buffer in 20 seconds. Of course you can set the game graphics to med/high, to get better FPS. You obviously get a further benefit from DLSS and/or MFG, which can make up for the GPU not being stellar for 1440p. Those benefits can really help in some instances, specially single player games, where your base frame rate is high and latency isn't that important. Not so good for online multiplayer games, like First Person Shooters, where latency is a massive issue.
