Help with first time PC build / recommendations

Hello,

This will be my first time attempting a PC build and I'd like to stay under a $1000 budget (preferably $850) for just the tower alone. Below is a mock-up of what I have based on recommendations and personal research, but is still over-budget.

The following are the types of operations I'll want to be doing:
-Video editing
-Gaming (relatively non-intensive games: League of Legends, Fortnight, Stellaris, Minecraft)
-Streaming while gaming
-Music editing software
-VR Gaming capabilities

As far as enabling "high" graphics on games, I could care less. Medium to low is fine with me (if that's what gets me under budget, that is). I'm mainly looking for recommendations on the types of parts needed to achieve basic performance on the above-stated operations.

i7-6700K is from 2015 and been superseded by the i7-7700K, i7-8700K, and i7-9700K; the 8700K is a six-core w/ hyper-threading and the 9700K is an eight-core w/o hyper-threading. But AMD provides six and eight cores for much less and would be better for streaming and video editing than Intel at the price point of your budget.

Here's a build I would recommend for just under $1,000 considering your requirements.

You can even go with the 2060 instead of 1070.
