Please take this us nothing but friendly advice...

The reason you aren't getting much of a response is probably due to this post should really be in the general hardware section. You've pretty much just asked for buying advice mainly as opposed to it being a true Project Log.

Your budget is certainly impressive... I work out 4822 not including your subscriptions or missing parts.
 
Wouldnt you be better of with a prebuit system like this.

Or you could even ring them up and say how you would like it.

£6000 and thats all you get, wow!
Lets just get this out of the way, are you on anything, £6000 PC and only a 1080p screen...??????
Right, anyways, you will want to go either 4k or 1440p for this to even be worth anything to you, than a nice big number in the top right/left of your screen and some good benchies.
Look at an Acer Predator X34 G-Sync for gaming (ultrawide is amazing) and then a 27 inch IPS monitor for your chats etc.

For £7500 (including chair etc)
Blue Yeti & arm - 119
GTOmega chair - 229
Logitech G920 - 89
Look at Ikea for a desk you like and is big.

For pc:

From there, add in all the watercooling bits and bobs that you want, but thats your money spent better, if you really wanted to spend more, get another 980ti and a bigger PSU and watercool the F out of it. With that motherboard, you can watercool it too if you buy the block.
Good luck :)
How big are you on twitch by the way? Seems excessive to start streaming and buy a PC just to go for a fantasy you will probably get bored of, like many others.
