Need help with $2100 budget PC build.

I've asked another forum site about what would be the best option. So far this is my best build:

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PQZYsY

 

I'm not well "computer smart" in certain specific terms but I can put one together just fine, so excuse me if I say something incorrectly, here is what I require:

 

-21:9 2560 x 1080p monitor (Considering a curved monitor but not a must, 29" maybe  a little more is OK) NO 4k monitors.

-Keyboard and Mouse (I know a couple $30 Deal combos)

NOTE:When I use this PC most of the time it's 70% Gaming, 30% Workstation capabilities 

-Considering a powerful GPU ($1000 or less), I'm tempted to throw in a Titan X not just cause I have the money for it but want something that can handle medium to sorta high rendering situations.

-Must have wireless network adapter

-Windows 10 OS (Office is not required)

 

Secondary requirements:

-Considering Xbox One Elite Controller (somewhat over $150, the controller is not a must)

-An SSD if you can fit one in

-Leave about $200-300 to bank in Steam/Origin credits.

 

My current PC partpicker build is flexible for you to tweak, I just need some suggestions and please note that I'll be ordering the PC early March 2016 so some parts may lower in price in the future and my budget will probably be a little more than $2100. The games below are the games I'm planning to play (not being bought all at once I'll purchase them as sales come by)

 

Wishlist Games:

The Forest - $15
CS:GO - $15
DBZ XU- $50
Mad Max- $60
Shadow of Mordor - $50
GTA V - $60
Watch Dogs - $40
Battlefield Hardline (via ORIGIN) - $30
Need for Speed Rivals (via ORIGIN) - $10-20
The Witcher 3 -$60

Fallout 4 - $60

Batman Arkham Knight -$60

H1Z1- $20

It is a little more expensive but you have alot more power and maybe if you see a good deal swap out the 980 for a 980ti. Also for a wireless adapter I would first recommend ethernet (if you can't do this then power lines http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-PA4010KIT-Powerline-Adapter-Starter/dp/B00AWRUICG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448740332&sr=8-1&keywords=powerlines) or this wireless adapter http://www.amazon.com/Edimax-EW-7811Un-150Mbps-Raspberry-Supports/dp/B003MTTJOY/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1448740363&sr=1-4&keywords=usb+wifi+adapter

This is a solid choice especially for workstation stuff. I would get yourself a windows 8.1pro from G2a for like $20 and use that to upgrade to windows 10 free. With the money you save swap out the 980 to a 980ti. I would also hit up G2A for your game titles, they often have steam codes you can redeem for 1/2 the price

Going ethernet was the first thing in mind because it's overall a bit better quality than wireless, however in my situation that's not happening I don't have one of those ports in the wall that I could connect to and the modem itself is in another room and having a long wire is a bit out of the equation, I'll consider the power lines option though thanks.

Never heard about G2A before, I'll definitely take a look into it thanks.
