Hi, I plan to stream fortnite and rocket league. Here is the build I have so far. Do you have any opinions on how I could save money or things I should change? Do you think the 2600x could handle streaming instead of the 2700x?

If you only need to stream those two games @ 1080p and want to save some money, this is good enough:
