Budget ~2000 USD. Looking for a decent build with GTX 1080. Any help would be extremely appreciated. I already have peripherals so solely a PC would be perfect. Cheers :)

Unfortunately PCPartPicker doesn't have the good aftermarket 1080s at the moment so I just picked everything else. You'd be able to add another 16GB RAM and a second GTX 1080 if you wanted to in the future. The case also has ample support for water cooling components, in case you wanted to put together a custom loop.
 
Solution
If this build is for gaming, trust me when I say you want all the SSD capacity you can get. New games are quite big and suffer from long load times (even going so far as to have actual framerate issues on HDDs, such as with Batman: Arkham Knight or Fallout 4).

If this build is a workstation, you need something entirely different.
