I think it's time to upgrade from my 10yr old computer... it's running i5 2500k overclocked and gtx 970. I mostly will be Gaming and maybe streaming with the new rig. I have an idea but need some opinions about the build.. Looking to spend about $2000 Canadian before taxes but cheaper is always better. I have all the parts sitting in my "Shopping Cart" on Newegg.ca and it estimates at $1966.94 before taxes and shipping. Want the build to last a long time just like my last one so trying to get newer parts and I heard you can run the cpu with DDR 4 so I thought it could save some money too but opinions on that would be great too.
I do need a option for a case cause I don't think my old one will fit everything. Its a Zalman z11 plus.

Those prices are going to jump big time in Canadian dollars. What is your monitor resolution?

Yes I know sadly. That build will come to roughly $1966+taxes and shipping. without the psu since I'll be picking it up at Best buy cause I have a Gift card to there and its on sale there. Sorry my resolution is 1920x1080 I have Display port cables already for them so hoping to still use those for new build.
My monitors are ASUS VG248QE.
 
Your parts are very good, with the exception of the aio cooler.

That model has had a troubled past:

Really, a good air cooler will do the job.
Here is the noctua suitability chart for the 13700K:

A number of them will fit your case depending on the height available.
The front intake is a bit restrictive, but a strong 140mm fan should provide decent airflow.

Still, on a new build a new case is exciting.
Find one with the looks you love.
I love the quality of Liian li cases.
Here is the Lancool 216RW white(it comes in black also)
The case includes two 160mm front intakes which is outstanding for air cooling.

I like the quality of noctua coolers.
The NH-D15s black:
