Why 32gb RAM? For gaming and streaming, 16gb is more than enough, with 32gb giving no benefits at all. And it won't be futureproof either because by the times games need more than 16gb RAM, everything else in your system will be obsolete anyway - so the extra RAM won't help.

Get fast RAM - 3200MHz, or potentially even 3600MHz.

Why the Strix motherboard? Does it provide anything that you need that the X570 PLUS does not? If not, stick to the PLUS. It's a very good motherboard.

Why the 2 HDDs?

No, not one teeny tiny bit in fact :) Lots more RAM than you need doesn't make things faster. It just sits there not getting used.

Just get a single 3TB HDD. Easier to manage, probably a bit faster too. It uses less power. It keeps an HDD bay free in case you need even more storage in a few years time. And there are fewer drives cluttering up the case / interfering with airflow.

the motherboard because its under "recommended gaming motherboards"
That's just marketing. If there's nothing specific you need on the X570-F that isn't already on the X570-PLUS, go with the PLUS. It's cheaper and a very good motherboard.
