First gaming rig build (Tech noob)

[MaddogLiam54]

Budget: I'm aiming at about $2,000 USD budget although I am willing to go higher if needed. Budget includes everything in the tower

Location: Atlanta, GA area.

Aim: My main uses will be gaming and video streaming at max graphics.  I currently mostly play MMORPGS, League of Legends, World of Tanks, and Skyrim. I also spend a lot of time watching Anime, YouTube, and Twitch.

Monitors: The ability to run two 24" monitors (not owned) and my tv. 

Peripherals: I currently use a Steelseries Siberia 800 headset and Razer Naga 2012. I intend to upgrade the mouse when I buy a keyboard but these are NOT included in the budget.

Why am I upgrading?: So basically I've been using a stock Toshiba laptop for the last 9 years and am over gaming at 8-23 fps at minimum graphics.

Case and Aesthetics: Case size doesn't really matter as I intend to hand buid a desk around it once it's built. As far as aesthetics, a Black/Red color scheme/lighting is preferred. I'd like to have a lot of ports mainly located on the rear of the tower. DVD/Blue-ray player for movies and installing games from disk needed.

Additional Information: As I admittedly have no life, this computer will be under heavy use (8-12 hrs daily) and needs to be build to handle it. I don't need E-Sports level quality and performance but playing MMORPGS and League of Legends in Max graphics smoothly would be nice. I usually leave the computer in hibernation instead of complete shutdown (I think this affects ssd or something like that). I'll be buying components for the rig over a the next few months and will find someone local who can help me put it all together once I have them all. If you have any advice or questions please let me know. This is my first time doing anything of the sort and I'm both excited and terrified of the build ahead.

I actually haven't heard of 1440p before so whatever you would suggest.

Ok here's another question

 

Would you prefer 1080p 144Hz

 

Or 1440p 60Hz

 

Hz means how many fps can the monitor display and if you are able to achieve 144fps on a 144Hz monitor it is buttery smooth compared to 60fps on a 60Hz monitor

1440p sounds like the better option. I guess I'll go with that.
