I am selecting a budget PC for my son that he wants to use for Minecraft/Roblox streaming. Is this configuration good enough for that?
What quality of streaming and gaming can be achieved on that computer? 1080px60FPS possible?

AMD Ryzen 7 2700 3.2 ГГц
DDR4 16 Гб 2400 МГц
HDD 1000 Гб 7200rpm,
SSD 480 Гб
Radeon RX 5700 8192 Мб
Windows 10 Home
 
My recommendation, if streaming is important, would likely be to go with an Nvidia based GPU. The built-in NVENC/Shadowplay on the Nvidia GPUs is vastly superior to AMD's fixed function video encoding, particularly on the Turing class GPUs.

The GPU you've got picked out is a $350 part. For Minecraft/Roblox that is ridiculously overkill, but let's assume he might eventually play something more stressful. The RTX 2060 non-Super is available at just below the price point of an RX5700, and the performance of the RTX2060 will be a hair lower than the RX5700. The RTX card gets Shadowplay/NVENC though and will be able to stream in good quality for negligible performance cost thanks to that.

I would consider a Ryzen 5 3600 over the Ryzen 7 2700 though, if that's a choice.
 
The RTX card aso gets you the ability to play the new RTX version of Minecraft (not with everthing turned-on, but with low/med settings).

You can't get that with any AMD card today.
