I'm trying to build a gaming PC, but the full ATX components are too expensive for me to buy.

What are some good components for mATX computers that are reliable, run decent games, stream, stylish, and very affordable? I wish the chipset to be an AMD build.

Btw, do I really need a DVD drive? I don't think the drive will fit in...

You could concider the Ryzen 5 2400G with integrated vega 11 graphics with 11 compute units to cheapen it out a bit. This CPU is only a 4c/8t CPU however. This GPU will make use of fast ram. This IGPU lies in between a GT1030 and a GTX750 TI performance wise and can game at 1080p on low/med settings in most newer games. The Vega 11 tends to have way better texture quality than a gt1030. To keep costs way down you could use this igpu. while the 780 is still capable I would suggest a newer lower end GPU instead of the 780 as it is almost 6 years old now. a newer card will use power, potentially be more powerful, and will have longer driver support.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tfBDhy I would try this. It cost about $800, has a rx580 8gb graphics card that massively outperforms the 780. The rx580 is a current gen AMD card that can be bought brand new. It is about 4.5 years newer than the 780 which is why i would get it. This card also comes in a bundle with a 150$ games gift card. (i am now tempted to buy this to upgrade the current gtx 1050 in my pc)
This has the same CPU and case as the latter build while shaving off a little money here and there without sacrificing quality. The ram and SSD are very similar but more inexpensive.
X470 boards are not ideal for this situation as they are more expensive then b350 boards that still allow overclocking. They do lack sli/crossfire support. Keep in mind if overclocking the ryzen 3 1200 overclocks identically to the 1300x and yields identical benchmark results. This build lacks wifi, however, ethernet is faster and should be used if available.
