There's a pretty standard build under your current budget, still have $200 to play with so if you want more RAM/Storage or a better Processor feel free to pick that out instead.

 

The 980Ti will have better performance than most 'CUDA' GPU's unless your looking at spending $4k on the decent quadro cards. 

CPU: i7 8700k   Motherboard: Asus Maximus Hero  RAM: 16GB @ 3600Mhz  GPU: MSI 980Ti 6G  Case: Fractal Design R5 (4 Intakes/3Exhausts)  Storage: Crucial BX100 SSD, Samsung 850 & Seagate 2TB HDD  PSU: Seasonic M12II Evo '850W'  CPU Cooling: Corsair H110i GT

I modified your build slightly to fit the six cores he wanted. A little bit over budget and a much cheaper cooler, but: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/CrF2dC

That cooler won't fit in the Corsair Air 240. The max cpu height is about 130mm although Corsair website states 120mm.

Forgot to mention I have OS and CPU cooler already

 

How about listing the psu model #, o/s version, and cpu cooler model. The case you don't need is an Air 240?

 

Besides Resolve, what else will the system be used for?

 

Are keyboard, mouse, monitor required?

Have a g2 1300

Win 10

H100i

Already have air240(from LMG meetup)

I do illustrator flash lightroom and c4d

Keyboard mouse and headphones not needed

If anyone has a k702 q701 or k7xx please if you can tell me inner diameter of the earcups.

Monitor I need something along the lines of a pb278q or even just that (or anything colour accurate enough like maybe 34uc87?)

Get a quad channel memory kit, 4x8GB. This will guaranty quad channel operation at the advertised speed and timings. Buying two dual channel kits allows a small chance of not being able to run quad channel or at the advertised speed and timings.

 

Fastest storage is 4 PCIe 3.0 lane ssd. Either in M.2 format or using an expansion slot. Given an mATX build, M.2 slot would be best. I would suggest Samsung 950 Pro or SM951. (Up to 32Gb/sec.) With a better understanding of your budget, I would suggest a Samsung M.2 512GB Pro and a Samsung 2TB 850 Pro SATA III ssd. Solid state storage is much more reliable than hdd.

 

I am an unabashed fan of Asus motherboards. They have a history of excellent quality and reliability. I am not familiar with EVGA motherboards.
