No monitor, optical drive, or keyboard/mouse. Just power. My budget is between 1500 and 2000 dollars. Eventually looking at working with 4k video.

This is the computer I ended up building. I went a little over my budget because I wanted to SLI my video cards, but whatever. Still a good machine, doesn't look like Kate Upton, but it's crazy like Miley Cyrus.

Thanks Man!

Note: The two SLI'd video cards that I chose required me to purchase a flexible SLI bridge because the fan on the video card gets in the way. Also, I benchmarked like 4.60-4.65 MHz @ 84 degrees centigrade with an overclock. It had plenty of stability, even ran it through an 8 hour stress test. I can scrub 4k video with no lag or delay which is extremely impressive as well

If your going to be working with 4k and your budget is 1500-2000 then i dont recommend getting gtx 970's literally for the amount that you'd be paying for those two, you could get an amd r9 295x2 which is at an all time low for around 600 dollars save yourself some money and get way better performance. Seriously though the 295x2 chews up 4k like ham it could even handle multiple monitor without breaking a sweat this card is second to no other anyway check this build and let me know what you think?
