I'd like to build a PC with the total coming to around $2000 (Including monitors, operating system, neon lights in the case, ect.)
-Primary use: gaming, watching streams, video editing/recording, streaming myself, and general web surfing.
-Purchase date: Not for a while, maybe around Christmas.
-I'd like Windows 10
-Preferably 2 monitors but this is not a necessity
-I have a BenQ RL2455 (Should I get another one of these, keep just this one, or buy one or two new monitors?)
-The case has to look cool, and have neon lights. (Yes this is important to me)
-I think I'd like at least 16 gigs of ram, but if I need 32 by all means let me know.
-I do not plan on over clocking
-SLI: If games run fine without it, then I don't need it.
-Preferred website: Amazon, but I'm good with whatever's cheapest.(I do have Prime.)

I think that's about it, if you need more information, please ask. Thanks. -Dom

Admirable
For a gaming computer, especially when your budget includes monitors, I would highly suggest making adaptive sync-equipped monitors part of your plan. If you start there and then work backwards, then rest of the rig will sort of fill itself in.

As you've got 6 months still before you need to look seriously at the landscape of available hardware, you should have the benefit of many new options that are not yet launched.
