With this cpu i want to be able to game and get high frame rates, stream at 1080p smoothly, video edit 1080p clips quickly and multitask( having lots of tabs open, watch videos at 1080p while gaming and editing). I will be pairing this cpu with a gtx 1070 or 1070 ti with my 144hz monitor and have 16 gbs of ram.
My budget is under $1100
I have a hdd already that i have my file on and i will add a m.2 250gb ssd for os
Also i can't decide if i need rgb and fan control in the nzxt h500i or should i get the h500
I would like an air cooler like a cryiorig h7 or a dark rock 4
 
Solution
Pretty close, yeah. But when you start pushing multiple programs simultaneously like you have mentioned above, the 2700x would be able to handle it better along with gaming.
Something like this should be good...

Well, you can go with the ATX Masterbox then. The Masterbox cases are pretty decent for their price...

question about storage
I have a 1tb hd that i keep all my games on ( I dont mind the wait time for games). I want to add an ssd just for os and maybe adobe programs. Would a 120-128gb be good if i only use it for that? the adobe files would be saved on my hd
 
right now im using 400gbs of my 1tb on my pc i dont play a whole lot of games . I wont build my system until december or january. If the intel 9th gen cpus are like current ryzen the i think intel would be a better buy
