You have some lofty goals on a somewhat tight budget. The setup below is a good start for an overclocking setup with a PSU sized for a pair of large GPUs. This would have you running with the on-board GPU for now. Add an SSD and a GPU when you can (GTX 970 / R9 380 or larger), then a second in SLI / CF if you need more graphics power.

If you want to forgo overclocking, the setup below is for a single GPU. This is what I would recommend as you don't need to overclock to game at high settings. ...especially at 1080.
