Budget (including currency): Close as possible to $2000 US (Bottom line total including monitor, keyboard, and headset)

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AAA gaming, streaming, light video editing

Other details: Hi i'm looking to build my first PC towards the end of the year and need some help in making sure I'm getting good value.
I am looking to game at 1440p on Ultra at 60 FPS. I have been looking at the new RTX 3070 as a possible candidate as far as GPU. For the CPU, I was planning to use a Ryzen 5 3600, but with the recent announcement of AMD showing off Zen 3 chips in early October, I am now looking at getting the next gen upgrade on the 3600.
Besides the GPU and CPU on the list, everything else is what I am looking to purchase. Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The board , power supply , and keyboard are overly expensive and aren't going to make the machine any faster so you should allocate the budget better to emphasize parts that will actually matter like the cpu.

Just a tad over your budget. I am going with the announced price of the RTX 3070.

FYI, the NVME drive is for your editing. The SSD is for your OS, and the HDD for storage and LARGE game files. (Believe me, your not going to see a huge difference with the speed timings of your drive.

And that Monitor is 34" Ultrawide for better workspace, 2K and 144Hz It's at Newegg for that price.

Sorry I forgot the headphones.
