Hi so im doing a build to buy in the future, and i was playing arround with the parts and prices and everything. So the one i thought of so far looks like this. So basically i want recommendations, if there's a cheaper alternative to a part while barely losing performance, if theres something i should change/improve, etc.

Main use of the build: Mainly gaming, but i also want to stream. I would like to play 1440p 60fps, cause i really want to try it, but i wouldn't die if it was 1080p.
Preferences: I would prefer Ryzen if possible in the CPU, cause i dont really like what Intel is doing lately.
Budget: 1600 max.
Other stuff: I want it to be future proof. If i have to ''update it'', it has to be in the very long run, so in like 3-4 years from now or something like that.

Also some extra questions. As i said in the "Main use of the build", i would like to play 1440p, for what i checked, but 1440p + streaming would be too much probably, so i would like to just stream in 1080p. But for what i seen 1440p, monitors have problems when using 1080p. So what would be the solution for that? Is 1440p worth the price difference?

Last thing, the case is a place holder really, do you know any case that looks like this one I really like this one but in reviews it says the GPU holder is plastic, not metal, and i dont like that. Site is in spanish, cant find any other site with it.
 
Solution
don't say you don't need 144 fps. Even for dota, it feels much better gaming. Try it out in a shop and you will see what I am talking about. If only 1440p 60 fps, this is what I will get instead as 2070 is overkill.

Reread what I posted. I also meant for 60 FPS which is the max a 60Hz monitor can display..... Even older games like The Witcher 3 ( 55 FPS avg ) and Fallout 4 don't give me a steady 60 FPS with my 980 Ti. The 2070 is roughly equal to a 1080 which is going to struggle to deliver 60 FPS in Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Metro Exodus and that's without factoring in ray tracing and the performance hit from that.

To me, RTX 2060 should suffice for 1440p 60hz. I agree I will get 2070 for 1440p as I recommended above. However, hard to fit a 1440p monitor and 2070 within the budget.

I didn't make it clear, I meant suitable 1440p 100+ hz monitor, but good list to me. OP also asked for 2700X :)
