Here's what I got so far. I just need any suggestions. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3rfEx

If you are using this machine for gaming, and only plan to play at 1080p, you will not see a difference in performance between a $1100 build and a $2000 build.  Go with an upgrade-ready $1200 build instead of using all of your budget, you wont see much of a difference in performance for spending an additional $900.

This is an incredible build that will last you for many years, while still remaining very upgradeable.

 

I would also keep an eye open for the MSI GTX 780 Twin Frozr GPU, it goes on sale for $450 from time to time.
