Gaming PC with potential streaming

So around this summer I'm planning on building a Gaming PC with a budget of about $2000-$2400US.

I already have what I think is a pretty good build here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CLk3d6 and I'm thinking of going for a 1080Ti AIC when they start coming out if the prices are good.

I mentioned streaming with this, and I know that streaming and gaming at the same time is heavily CPU dependent, so I was also thinking potentially doing a dual PC setup using a miniITX board and case for the streaming PC and was wondering if you guys of the Forum had any good ideas for improvement on my Gaming Build to be able to handle streaming at the same time on its own or any solid suggestions on a separate Streaming PC.

Oh, and let's say the Streaming PC has a budget of $1000US or less.

Looks nice but if you want get a second monitor if you stream. It dosent need to be anything special. I have my 1080p monitor but I found an old 768p tv and use that to see my chat when streaming and control discord and obs. 

EDIT: Didn't see you bought an operating system full price. Look online and you can save 40-50 bucks on Windows 10

Alright I already own a 32 inch TV that acts as my current monitor I guess I'll be keeping it around awhile longer. And I'll make sure to look around for that OS copy. Thanks!

Why a GTX 1080 or Ti on a 1080p monitor?

I'd get a better cooler, maybe do a custom loop

Gaming won't benefit from NVME drive, get regular SATA drive

What the guy above me said, maybe get a 1070 and water cooling would be better to afford a better monitor. 1440p would be ez with that and even 4k

1080p 144hz monitor, the gtx 1080 won't be wasted with that refresh rate.

Only a small amount of game needed. And that high of refresh rate is useful for competitive games while most demanding games are usually single player (Deus Ex, Crysis 3...)
