A RTX 2070 Super is effectively a slightly cut down RTX 2080 for gaming purposes from what benchmarks I've seen so will play games at high resolutions and high framerates without a problem for the most part (unless you're going to 4K in which case it might struggle with some titles).

I'm not certain about the streaming capability of the CPU but would imagine its sufficient, hopefully one of the other regulars here will weigh in and correct me if I'm wrong about that!

What monitor are you planning to use to game on? Will perhaps help to refine some of your choices (mostly as it'll let us know what resolution and refresh rate you will be going for).

I currently use a samsung s22d300 monitor, I was planning to upgrade but hadn't looked into it as of yet. Do you have any recommendations?

Not worth buying this spec without a monitor upgrade! :)

For this kind of spec, 1440p 144hz with freesync / gsync compatible / gsync would be the way to go. These monitors are typically £400-£600 though there are some either side of that price bracket.

The Dell S2716DG is a good model. The new-ish Gigabyte Aorus monitor is supposed to be good if you prefer an IPS panel.

Get the 3200MHz if it's being offered

Get a better quality, more efficient PSU, e.g. TXm series at least.

You're buying a 512gb NVMe SSD and a 2TB 'budget' end Sata SSD. A 1TB SDD and large HDD would likely offer better value. I'd ideally go with a faster SSD like the 970 Evo or WD Black.

The R9 will be extremely good for streaming. However the R7 3700x would also likely be more than sufficient. If you're going to get quite into streaming and video editing as well, then the R9 may be worth the investment.
