I highly don't recommend buying off those online retailers because those are EXTREMELY overpriced. As you can see what AntonM95 gave you, you can see how you could get an r9 295x2 with that money. However if you are sure that you just want to buy from an online retailer then I would reccomend xoticpc.com. They do accept paypal payments and you can check out their payment options here: http://www.xoticpc.com/payment-information-ip-14.html. Xoticpc has amazing customer service and stress tests their computers so you don't have to worry about getting a defective product. If you go take a look around notebookreview.com forums you can see some xoticpc representatives hanging around there and answering complaints and all.
As for your desktop, I would just go with this one and configure it.
http://www.xoticpc.com/scourge-stage-p-6635.html?wconfigure=yes (although you will be getting an AMD cpu, if you are playing games intel cpu won't make a difference and since amd cpu is cheaper you can get a much better gpu)
As you want Cooler Master Haf X, you can configure it to that.

HOWEVER, if you insist on getting an intel cpu note that the highest gpu you will probably be able to get will be a gtx 970 rather than a gtx 980.

Make sure you configure it as I did. However, if you disagree with something, feel free to change it. Both configurations are 2500 dollars exact I believe.
