Hey guys, I'm not that smart when it comes to selecting the best computer parts. So If you guys could help that would be awesome. The most I would prefer to spend is $1500. This most I CAN spend is going to be $2000. The computer will be used for gaming. The type of games I play tend to be large scale games such at Battlefield 4, Tera, Planetside 2 and other large MMO's. What I'd like to get is be able to run on high (doesn't have to be max) graphics and have a large amount of frames left and also have a large amount of memory (I'm a memory hoarder.). If you guys could help me that would be awesome and greatly appreciated.
*edit* I also forgot to say that I need a monitor as well.

What do you think? You could also upgrade to a 980 Ti if you want.

Addendum: You could also get a cheaper motherboard if you like. The one I added is something that was recommended by a friend who has a M.2 SSD installed; he's had absolutely no problems with that board. But there are Z170 boards out there that are as cheap as $100. You could select one of them, so that you have extra money to spend on another component.
