Yeah, the Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0. That said, with two grand you can get yourself a better build, assuming this is a gaming pc (even if it weren't).

Couple questions, why the 512 SSD, you can go with a 250 one and a 1TB 7200rpm conventional hard disk for less money, which should be the recommended configuration.

Will you use the Bluray drive?

Do you need Windows for more than one machine? if not then get an OEM version, or get Windows 8.1 which will let you migrate the OS should you change your computer.

Are you set on that case? while really good, it's really expensive, and you can get a good one for less...

All these savings can get you a much much better GPU (you can put a GTX 780 there with that money), and for high budget...

All these savings can get you a much much better GPU (you can put a GTX 780 there with that money), and for high budget builds, Intel processors are recommended, either the i5 4670k or the i7 4770k.

With all those comments, here is a proposed build which you can take as a suggestion:
