Gaming/Streaming/Design PC $1700~

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

I'll be streaming Tekken, Dead or Alive, and Soul Calibur. I'll be looking to play triple-A games, and consider consistent framerate a priority - my last machine couldn't run NieR:Automata at a quality I found acceptable, so I had to play it on console. I dabble in music production as well.

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

I'm willing to go up to $2000 total, though would prefer it to stay around $1700 at most.

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 Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

I'm driving to a Micro Center this weekend, so in a couple days.

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

Currently, I need the full build.

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?

I'll be purchasing the parts in Ohio, at a Microcenter.

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?

I'm not interested in overclocking, and won't be until I'm ready to upgrade.

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)

I'd prefer a focus on storage capacity over SSDs, as I end up using a great deal of storage between gaming and production.

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?

I particularly dislike LEDs, and would prefer a solid case. I'm willing to compromise for particularly good component cooling, though.

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

Unfortunately I need a copy of Win10 - Home edition's fine.

Extra info or particulars:

I need this machine to be quiet - if I can hear it through reasonable headphones I'll have to operate it from a room away. Effective cooling solutions that keep the temperature at reasonable levels without being too loud would be the dream. For this reason, I'm not willing to purchase the newly-released Radeon 5700s that can boil my coffee and wake up the neighbors.
