Hello! I am a beginner builder, and I have decided to build a computer that I can both A- play high end games, B- stream said games in high quality and frames, C- record if possible, at the same time, D- multitask, E- overclock to 3.7-4.0GHz speeds, F- excel with Virtual Reality, and G- have the computer last for a long time.

This is the build -

Note, over the past few months I've bought a few pieces (the least expensive ones, I'm working my way up until Black Friday and Cyber Monday hit, so I can save on the biggest money suckers), and this includes the fans, the case, and the power box.
The cooler, the ram, cpu, gpu, and etc, are all still up in the air.
Can y'all please let me know what you think? : )

You can get away with a GTX 1070. Any Ryzen CPU is unlocked for overclocking. Also, I would recommend an air cooler over any AIO cooler. ESPECIALLY since you're new to building a PC. And Samsung's SSDs are overpriced in my opinion. MX300 is similar in performance at the same price. I took the liberty to replace your wireless card for something Intel-based. And finally, you don't need a 750W PSU EVEN if you overclock.

I like it.

The 750W is there because you plan on SLI eventually?

Where will that red one go? I'd install a 140mm up front. NF-A14 PWM from Noctua. You can always save that one you already have for a rainy day...

A 1070 is extremely poor value atm, i'd also advise against the above list as a whole by ocknaline.
That leaves about 2k after the cost of case, PSU and fans are subtracted.
As mentioned, I would have stayed away from the industrial fans, they run at very high RPMs and are noisy as hell under load.
The CM fan is also low quality.

Not quite sure what you're trying to say there, after his owned components are subtracted from the cost, $2000 is what's left. I haven't gone over that.
Win 8.1 also isn't a good choice at all, the keyboard you listed is also absolutely terrible quality.
If you're insistent on 1080p 144hz however even though it wasn't mentioned, and still want a better list for that...

Its a ten keyless Cherry MX Blue board, very good quality.
The 1070 is wildly overpriced at the moment, and if you can fit it in the budget why not?
Seems a far better performing choice over a 1070 imo.
Don't drag the discussion off topic, if you have any more questions or need justifications PM me and i'll answer them.
