I have been saving up for a few years to get myself a PC. I can finally afford to do so and may I say with a above average budget. I will have around 2500 euros to spend on this. I do not have much knowledge on parts and what works well together. I have some idea of what I want so if someone can help me structure the rest after my guidelines it would be great. 

 

I would have to have one gtx 1080 and two monitors.

It's not a final build, it's just a general one and now we can work around it to make it just for your needs. Since you specified the price in Euros, I chose that currency on PCPP, but you're from UK, so the price in pounds would be around 1400. 

Tell us about what you need. You have a pretty big budget, that why I went with the i7 6700K, liquid cooling and a GTX 1080. Don't look at the exact model, things are still pretty messed up with Pascal GPU's and PCPP was a little confused so I pickced whatever GTX 1080 was on top of the list. 

As you can see we are still far from reaching you budgets limit, so we can also add some cool stuff like a keyboard, mouse and a monitor.
