First time building a PC

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

Will be playing heavily modded skyrim and fallout games, all AAA games on high to near max settings,MMOs web browsing and MS office for school work. I would also like to play on 1080p/1440p with great frame rates.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

$1500-1700. Can go higher if really needed but would like to ideally stay around this budget.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

Within a week.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

I need it all.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

NJ and yes.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

N/A

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

Don't know how but if you recommend that I do then I'll see that I can.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

1070 because I keep hearing its good for 1080 to 1440p gaming. SSD and good storage for mods and alot of games.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

N/A

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

Windows 10 64 bit please.
