Hey guys thanks for helping me out here! I am interested in building a new pc for around $2000.00. I play all kinds of games ranging from The Witcher 3 to Hearthstone and would like to play maxed out at 1440p on an Acer X34. I also like to video edit/photo edit. I am trying to keep a white and black theme. Here is the build I am working on in the link below. Any suggestions are welcomed!

I'll stick in a 6 core CPU instead. :)
You can get an 850 G2 for $115 from memory, much cheaper and allows for SLI.
Great choice of case, I own it in black and absolutely love it.
Are you set on the Hydro 1080? It's a bit of a waste of money imo, an air cooler will perform very well and still be quiet.
Do you need a HDD?
 
Here you go.
