EDIT: Just seen the monitor change. Since you got one with Freesync, you would want an AMD chip, and the RX 580 is the best...

First off thank you for your service. I got out Last September, 75th FIRES. I now love my DD214.

Anyways, to me this looks like straight overkill. Do you need a 6850k? A Z270 and i7-7700K will probably be cheaper. Not to mention that you can turn that 1070 into a 1080 (maybe even 1080 Ti). 32GB of ram (and especially that brand) is also overkill.

What do you plan on doing? What monitor are you getting?

For a gaming PC most of that is just wasted money, like the 6850 for what 600 bucks and the 32GB of memory when 16 will do just fine.
What video card to get depends on the monitor resolution and refresh rate.
If your going to be streaming, recording and video editing that could change things also.

For now my planned use will be straight gaming with streaming/video capturing. I love doing video edits. Once I get that special dd214 I'll have a lot more time to use the computer for other uses such as graphical/game designing. I've built my pc in the past and usually after a few years most of the parts need to be replaced because everything gets more demanding. I know some to most of the parts are well over the norm but I wanted to build something that would last a really long time and something I can pass down to someone else once I'm ready to build again.

I've updated the list to show monitors aswell

EDIT: Just seen the monitor change. Since you got one with Freesync, you would want an AMD chip, and the RX 580 is the best you can get (maybe a R9 Fury X). If you can find one with G-Sync, that will go well with this 1080 Ti.

Being that you are getting, I expect you have some leave saved up, so that will probably go into this build. I am not an AMD guy, but even I have to admit Ryzen is a pretty beast. Here is something I can recommend for you under 2k (minus the 1440p/4K monitor you are wanting):

Would most any case work? I had one picked out, just wasn't showing as I didn't think it mattered? Also can I spend the little extra $$$ on the CPU and get the 1800 version? I don't mind spending a more even if it's just a small upgrade. I've set aside 3k just so I can get this side project done.

Will you want a case that will be able to fit a 360mm radiator which is why I went with the 750D. Any FULL tower case should work. And make sure you have enough for a decent 1440p/4K monitor. But you can get the 1800 (or 1800x) and the cooler should still work just fine.

That is not really relevant. Anything you use for 5/6 years will be old, slow, and dated by then.
I would concentrate more on what the PC will be used for in the time you have it.
I would think this would do you fine and give you a very good drive setup.
Samsung SSD for the OS and programs, 525GB SSD for all your main games, 1TB blue drive just to record to, 2TB black drive for everything else.
The new Zen processors still lack the single core performance of the Intel but are much better than the old FX. 6 cores 12 treads should do you good, I would overclock it to the 4.2 area if you can.
A GTX 1080 will max out the 1080p monitor.
