Do yourself a favor, spend half as much and upgrade it as time goes on.
This is a good start for $1300:

The more you spend over that, you get vastly diminishing returns for your money. If you play games, the GPU is of utmost importance. The above build recommends GTX 770. Buy the best single GPU you can, and later SLI/Crossfire it when you need to.

Well first off what store are you buying from? If you post that it will help to suggest parts. We can't link to Newegg as that will be useless if you live in Sweden. At current exchange $2500 USD = 15979.83 kr.

OK here you go:
Case: Fractal Design Arc MIDI R2 - 799 kr
PSU: XFX Pro Series 850W - 1007 kr
Motherboard: Asrock Z87 Extreme6 - 1636 kr
CPU: 3.4GHz Intel Core i5-4670K - 1889 kr
Cooler: Phanteks TC-14 - 677 kr
RAM: 8GB (2 x 4GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz 1.5V - 745 kr
SSD: 128GB Samsung 840 Pro - 1149 kr
HD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda ST 7200 RPM - 839 kr
Optical: 24x Samsung DVD Burner - 203 kr
GPU: 2 x EVGA Geforce GTX 770 - 3590 kr each (7180 kr total)
Total: 16124 kr (USD $2582.89)
A little over budget but dual GTX 770 will pretty much destroy anything in its' path.
