Would it be better to break the 2000 dollar budget just for a slight bit better computer (in this scenario, the computer is tailored for just gaming purposes, as well as streaming/recording/highly modified games (such as a 200 modified Skyrim for example), all the while running at 60 frames per second?

Here is a build I'm currently looking at: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XKMzGf

Wait till early march, we'll know how the Ryzen CPUs are performing, you may be able to get a 7700k performance for 6700k price (or better)

1080 is better for higher resolutions, but not more necessary for 1920x1080 resolutions than a 1070.

If you wanted... Changed cooler, dropped to 16gb faster ram, a z170 board that will actually allow you to oc your CPU, and a slightly cheaper power supply, which allowed me to sneak a 1080 into the budget.
