Going to be used for streaming and gaming, play on 1080p 60hz.
I already have 970 and PSU in my current PC going to use for this build. Going to use Windows 10
Looking if anything should be changed, need advice on what case to get, thank you
 


You want to be changing that PSU for sure as its a very budget oriented PSU and has thin gauge wiring inside. AS for the case, no-one can recommend a case for you as its all subjective. As long as you like the looks of the case and it will fit your GPU and Mobo then any case will do. I'd recommend a fairly open case such as a Fractal Design Define C as you will want some intake from the wrong blowing on your GPU.
 
I would go with the Samsung 850 evo. Same price but 250gb only. But it's better. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3kL7YJ/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz75e250bam
You should get cheapest RAM kit as RAM speed will not do you much good especially that you are going Intel.

Your PSU is okayish but if you can put a budget to get a more decent one it would be better

links to 3 good decent priced PSU.

The rest looks good to me.
 



You have picked a locked CPU and a CPU cooler, waste of money. I added a new PSU because that one is risky.

Kept your GPU 970.

You did not mention a case so I presume you already have one.

If for gaming and streaming, Ryzen should be better.

At $758, much cheaper than yours and better. If you can, sell off the 970 and get a new GPU:

The 1060 6GB should be plenty for 1080p 60Hz
