Build A Pretty PC For Me Please!

I was wondering if anyone could give me a PC build that looks REALLy good. I want to build a computer and I know this is kind of dumb and vain but I want it to look very very good. My criteria is below:

  • The build should look very good
  • The build, if it has RGB lighting should have it so it is able to customize and control the lighting through preferably aura sync but some other program will work
  • The build should be able to handle games such as overwatch with a 1440p monitor at 144fps on mid to high settings
  • The build should preferably stay under 1400 dollars but I can give or take ~100
  • The build should be in a nice tempered glass case to see it's beauty :D

I know this is a lot to ask for and if it's impossible that's okay but please try to get as close to my criteria as possible. (the most important things for me is the performance but looks is alos huge)

Thank you so much :D

BTW I don't need a hard drive as I already have one.
P.S Below I have included some more info.

 

1. Budget & Location

$1500, US New York

2. Aim

Gaming computer. The main game I will be running will be Overwatch at hopefully mid to high settings.

3. Monitors

1440p 165hz when overclocked w/ g sync (25 inch)

4. Peripherals

No need to include OS I already have mouse + keyboard + headset.

5. Why are you upgrading?

Because currently I have a potato 7 year old mac that can't run Minecraft at a stable 60fps on mid settings...

Thank you! Sry I didn't include more information I have now included more. But I have a few comments... 1, why did you go with that 1070 ti as you could get a 1080 ti for the same price. 2, so do you think the Ryzen 5 1600 suits my needs better than the Intel i5 8400? 3, maybe I should go with a slightly cheaper power supply ~20 dollars cheaper to then upgrade my ram to the G.Skill Trident Z RGB, what do you think? And 4, I already have a hard drive sorry I forgot to mention that. Again thank you! :D
