~$2000 Gaming PC

[Schaadie]

Hello all, I've recently been looking into building my second PC (first was an HTPC for about $450, turned out nice). Now I'm looking to build a gaming focused machine. I want to spend around $2000, but I'm flexible. Also trying to stick with a white theme and some silver. So far I have come up with the following..

Open to any suggestions and explanations as I'm still learning A LOT. I may have a deal on a GTX1080 (for $350) which I definitely plan on going with if it works out. I'm thinking if I can get that used now, the GPU market might settle out and I can upgrade later without taking to much of a beating like I would with the RTX.

 

Thanks in advance!
