Hi I'm trying to build my first pc and I plan on streaming with it. I have decided on most of my parts but can't seem to decide on a power supply,graphics card and hdd memory.The power supply because I don't know what kind of wattage my build would require and online calculators don't seem accurate to me. The hdd because I don't know what brand is the most reliable and the graphics card because I'm not that knowledgeable. I have a lot of questions and I'll just post my build till now here.

Case: Corsair CC-9011139-WW 500D Obsidian RGB SE Mid Tower Case

Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX X470-F Gaming Motherboard

CPU: AMD YD270XBGAFBOX Ryzen 7 2700X Processor with Wraith Prism RGB LED Cooler

SSD: Samsung MZ-V7E500BW 970 EVO 500 GB V-NAND M.2 PCI Express Solid State Drive

GPU depends on the resolution/refresh rate your monitor is. Also you can save some money by getting the B450-F version of that board. I have it and it's really good, easy-to-navigate BIOS and sleek look & features.

Nah I'm ok on the money thanks tho. Also I've already ordered all the parts here I'm just wondering about the rest. I currently have a 1080p 60hz monitor I want to get a 144hz one. Should I get a 1440p one or 1080 ?

Well for 1080P/144hz I'd get the 1660 ti as a min up to the 2070 or higher if budget allows it. For 1440P/144hz I'd look at the 2070 or better depending on budget.
