Need Help: PC Build

[Herolies]

I'm trying to build a new PC again. This isn't the first time building one but I haven't gotten to up-to-date with the new stuff. I'm aware of the new GPUs like the GTX 1080 and the other 2

 

Anyways, my min budget I guess you can say around $2,000 (US). If I can build anything less and still run great for current games would be much Appreciate. I don't mind Tipping a bit over the Budget. Would also want it to be at least Future Proof.

 

I'm not looking forward to 4k gaming. Highest res I would say 2k. Most likely gonna be playing on 1080p. Might change my mind in the future but not really motivated to change my Monitor Still works so why to change it. 

 

Thanks in advance

You can run Windows 10 without a key for now, then license it later if you want, Win10 will let you run it without a key.

2k is a lot of money to spend on a 1080p system. should be able to get a 6600k and gtx 1080 if you're after 144fps on ultra settings on all AAA games going forward though.

This is a very capable 144hz or 1440p build, no bells and whistles that will waste money either.

I Thought $2000 Would be enough to Future proof. I did mention I would be playing 1080p

Already have. A reason why I didn't  state it but now I know what to write in the future. Sorry

Yes, From the US. Don't need any at least in the meantime. Should've stated when I wrote it. So my apologize

I'm fully aware it's a lot of money for a 1080p. But the main point is to Future proof it  

I thought 2K should be enough to make a which is practically a 4k build I would assume. Like I said, I might change my mind in the future and upgrade my monitor.
