After asking for help several times I did receive it.
I have decided on this pc, however I was wondering if I could use my current gpu as a replacement.

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce FTX 1060 6GB
 
PebbleHost
High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Okay.[DOUBLEPOST=1536384244][/DOUBLEPOST]
Should I add a CPU cooler?
Don't listen to that guy, go with a ryzen for these reasons:

1. Support for the same chipset in the feature, meaning you won't need to upgrade your motherboard if you want to upgrade your cpu in the future, unlike Intel.
2. It's better for streaming and productivity, yes Intel CPUs are better for gaming, but you won't notice the extra frames, especially if you want to stream then go with a ryzen.
3. Cheaper Price.
4. If you get the proper motherboard, you can overclock this ryzen to get better bechmarks in games.

Just a heads-up since I stream and record rainbow six. If you use OBS, minimize the software to get good consistency of frames.

CPU don't use a ryzen use like a Intel I7

Ryzen is more valuable for streaming purposes. Better value for more cores. More cores help with the extra processes such as live encoding and such. Intel has better single-threaded performance which supports games better in some cases, whilst Ryzen is a lot more useful for productive purposes due to its multi-threaded performance. Regardless, AMD has always given you your values worth whilst Intel's prices are a tad bit too high for what they're offering. You're always paying a bit of premium Intel tax for using their stuff.

I have a Ryzen 2700X and I don't regret buying it. Also, if you aren't planning to overclock (which you shouldn't), then the AMD stock cooler will more than suffice. The standard Prism cooler I got with my CPU does more than enough.

I have one worry with your case choice. Whilst it does have decent airflow capabilities, it only comes with one fan preinstalled. I would highly recommend to invest in two more 120mm fans to ensure you have a strong airflow going. Two fans at the front pulling in air, and a fan in the back pulling out air.

Is the motherboard good enough? And should I upgrade the ryzen?[DOUBLEPOST=1536416216][/DOUBLEPOST]

Are these cases usually more expensive?[DOUBLEPOST=1536419907][/DOUBLEPOST]

Motherboard is fine. I suggest upgrading to a 2600X for a better stock cooler and core clock at a much better value. But really, with the GPU being a 1060, it's a bit unbalanced favoring the CPU. Your call, you can always upgrade the GPU in the future easily.

As for cases, the second one you just picked is a lot worse value wise. The first one is alright~. Considering the budget we are working around, this second case does not fit with the build with its $170 price tag. Everyone loves a bit of RGB, but do you really want to waste extra money on that?

It's really up to your taste, the first case you chose would be fine if you bought two extra fans to go with it (although it isn't really needed and can be bought in the future as an extra). I don't particularly like PCPartPicker as I just prefer going to a shop directly and looking at the cases directly.
