Ryzen 5 2600. It's cheaper and better for streaming. You do mean live-streaming your games right? Or do you just mean streaming video?

No, you should get a 400 series board to ensure compatibility with 2nd-gen Ryzen. So, B450 or X470.

400 series motherboard is the right choice , so it will be compatible out of the box.
