EATX, ATX, iTX, mATX it really doesn't matter. That just denotes the form factor of the motherboard, not really it's inherent features or capabilities. I would be more concerned with correctly setting up your streaming equipment like capture card (if you plan on using one) networking gear and any pre amp or audio mixing gear.
The base components of what you're planning look fine, the NVencoder on the 20 and 30 series cards is very good and you could also use quicksync and use the iGPU on your CPU if you wanted to go that route.
I appreciate the response, and it has only shown me that I know even less than I thought I did.
I had planned on purchasing a capture card, but have not actually looked into brands. I don't know anything about networking gear, pre amp or audio mixing gear.
I don't plan on making a profit doing this. I have severe mental/physical disabilities and was hoping to use this as more of a social thing. I won't turn down the ability to make something from this, but already had plans to donate to random charities and giveaways.
This is what I had planned overall for my build:
Processor: i9-11900k
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus Hero IIIV(Leaning towards, but not decided)
Memory: Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB 4000
PSU: be quiet! Dark Power Pro 12 1500W (I wanted 1200, but can't find it anywhere, but I also think 1500 might be best based on power usage)
GPU: Evga 3080ti, preferably a version that I can connect to a custom water cooling setup
SDD: Samsung 980 Pro 2TB
HDD: WD Black 8TB
Case: 1000D
Fans: be quiet! Silent Wings 3 120mm x 11
Hydro X Series XR7 480mm Water Cooling Radiator x 2
Hydro X Series XR7 360mm x 1
EKWB Waterblocks and pump/reservoir
I then was considering a small form factor secondary PC for streaming. I was going to cannibalize my older computer for parts but would still need a new processor/motherboard
Processor: Leaning towards i7-11800k
Motherboard: TBD
Memory: 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum (Recycled)
PSU: Corsair 1200w Platinum Rated (Recycled)
GPU: Was going to just use the iGPU
SDD/HDD: I need to look into which would be best, I do not want to recycle my old ones into this as they are already 5+ years in age.
Case: No preference, even considered just shoving everything into the 1000D, but worried about thermals
Fans: No preference
Cooler: AIO Corsair, no preference on model, depends on case, possibly even recycle my old one into this
Capture Card: TBD
