If you have $1,500-$2,000 for everything, ( What other Peripherals? Keyboard? Moue? )

There really isn't anything stopping you from getting a Titan XP with that budget, assuming you can find one at the MSRP.

Though, have yet to look into high end GPU's, I'd look into seeing what high end AIO GTX 1080 like the Hybrid, MSI SEA HARK, or Gigabyte XTREME whatever cooling performs at when overclocked very high and see if the FPS difference is worth it over having possibly 2-3 monitors and ( don't quite know ) keyboard/mouse ect.

with 8gb is enough for gaming, up to 16gb, 32gb of ram is a waste of money for gaming, for 4k gaming gtx 1080 for sure

Remember to quote me (or someone else), otherwise we won't going to recieve your answers...

GTX 1080 is the best. Get an aftermarket card and overclock it a ton.
