Trying to build a better computer for under $2000, hoping to catch the black friday deals

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

I play a wide variety of games, can't really nail down a single one, and I also draw digital art, but my current PC handles that just fine.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

$2000

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

Definitely need to do it by Christmas because I want to give my current build to someone

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

Tower, Win10 pro, and all internals. I will keep my old peripherals.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

Cincinnati, OH. There is a micro center not far from me

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

Monitors, keyboard, headphones from this build https://pcpartpicker.com/user/10art1/saved/#view=FN37TW. Not included is microphone, which I will also keep.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

I would be interested, but I don't have a preference for it. I would start overclocking immediately and just use the overclocked rate as my base rate.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

Must have 256GB SSD for OS and other frequently used programs, and 1TB HDD for storing files and images.

What type of network connectivity do you need? (Wired and/or WiFi) If WiFi is needed and you would like to find the fastest match for your wireless router, please list any specifics.

I will be using ethernet and do not anticipate using wifi

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

No preference. I'm not a big fan of those glass-side RGB towers, but I don't hate them either. I just want the parts to work.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

Windows 10 pro. Though, I might have an iso and key for it lying around, but for now, budget for it.

Extra info or particulars:

I would like 32GB RAM
