first things first, im buying a new pc but still using my gtx 1070 8gb, i'll buy a new gpu (prolly 3080 or smth) in a year/two when/if prices drop. i want to build a pc that i wont have to upgrade for the upcoming years besides the gpu.

the things on the list that i already have/ordered are the monitor, cpu and cpu cooling.

the rest i was looking for information for days but still cant decide whats best for me so i would heavily appreciate all help i can get regarding motherboard, ram, SSD and case.

do I need a better motherboard, should i get 32gb ram or keep 16, 3200mhz or 3600mhz, is the SSD fine and will the tower be big enough for the cooling and mobo/ram height etc

PC will be used for gaming at 1080p 144fps+ and streaming 1080p60fps.

I was personally looking to have 32gb ram and 1tb SSD with 2tb hdd just so i dont have to upgrade it in the near future but mby 16 ram is enough. all help rlly rly appreciated.

If you are already spending this much, I would recommend getting 32GB of RAM, 16 is fine for now but some games eat up 10-15 without streaming so keep that in mind, 3200 is fine but yea 3600 would be better. And for the motherboard, I would watch Hardware Unboxed videos on B550s and X570s to see what motherboard you would be comfortable in getting, they have amazing motherboard lineup videos.

16GB of RAM already became a "standard" for gaming and video editing. Since both are hardware intensive, it's always a good idea to double your RAM. If you do it now, you won't have to in the near future.

I would swap the Corsair RM for RMx if you are planning for a 3080 in the future

Building new now I would certainly go 32 Gb. I can hit 15 Gb usage with Firefox alone if I don't restart it for few days ...
