Here you go :) I don't know if you need peripherals/OS, if you do you can add those yourself :) If you need an OS I recommend getting it for cheap from g2a or /r/microsoftsoftwareswap

What can you do for $2000 budget excluding a graphics card?? I already have a 970

A crap ton. $2000 is a lot of money. You need peripherals included?

Are you going to be overclocking?

 

 

If you don't need peripherals(monitor mostly) and you want to play at 1080p, you could build something under $1000 extremely easily. Under $700 probably.

 

 

Like say you're not overclocking and need an OS.

High quality everything with a great upgrade path. Enough PSU to do SLI in the future, SLI capable mobo, etc.

 

 

Or you could...

the list looks pretty good other than the 980 TI. The recommended specs for Arma 3 is a GTX 560, 980 TI is way overkill and sounds like it wont even be utilized to its full extent. I'd scale down to GTX 960 at most for that reason, which would save, what, 400$? also, the prices are pretty decent for a 1151 build, but you could save even more with an 1150 build and accomplish the same goals.
