Do you need RAM, Drives, Power Supply, Case or just CPU, Board and GPU?

I will also wait form nvidia 3000 series so 2000 series can drop price

For the Nvidia GPUs I highly doubt they'll lower the price significantly for the launch. Because the 2000 cards are really good as we've seen and the 3000 series could be pricier mind you. We still don't know anything until they launch.
