I am hoping to use a rtx 4070 and I will use my pc for watching, having videos and stuff up while gaming, streaming + gaming and things like that with not too much delay. Which is the best choice? i am new to pc building

You can go the NVENC route for streaming using your 4070, that saves up tremendous amounts resources for the CPU.
I would go the i7 route, i9 only if you also edit a lot of videos.
Gaming performance is almost identical (<10%) between i7 and i9.

Give competitors’ recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don’t be rude. Let people enjoy things.
CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you’re worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you’re using.
