I have $2,000 to spend on a computer. Here are my preferences:

-980 Ti

-i7 Processor

-Min. 256gb SSD

-Good Cooling

-Reputable PSUs only

-No color preference

If anyone could find a prebuilt that would also be great. Thanks!

A prebuilt with a 980ti is gonna be very expensive.  The manufacturer will also probably cheap out on the PSU, Motherboard, and Hard Drive.  I strongly suggest building it yourself.  Just think of it as complex legos.

Don't care about the color/looks, just the performance ;)

Ya, but these legos cost thousands of dollars and I'm quite intimidated.
