Or

You could sell it, wait for the Intel 9th gen release which should be early October and build a good system then. The 7900X may be overkill for your uses and by selling it and adding more to your budget you could get a 2600 & better GPU/monitor over what's listed above.

i would get a 1440 monitor, if you get a 1060 it will easily handle 2k graphics, make sure you buy parts that you might be able to use or sell in the future

kingston memory goes on sale about every month so they have good deals

What will be the main use for this pc?

 

[bmockeg]

IMO, sell the CPU and buy an 8700k system. You'll get a much better overall system.

 

[Giantpie12]

The pc will be used for streaming/gaming

The pc will be used for streaming/gaming

For the streaming you may want to keep it however if you did sell it ($800?) you could get a more balanced system.
