Building a new 2000$ pc from money saved up from a few months. Mainly play Triple A titles and FPS's. Don't want overkill if its not needed. Would gladly spend some budget on games/new peripherals.

I'm upgrading to a 144Hz BenQ monitor for christmas. (Thanks Ma!)
I have good quality mouse and keyboard, but would like to upgrade to different stuff, I.E. Zowie EC2-B, Logitech Keyboard.

I believe 1080p 144HZ. I haven't delved deep into keyboards but the Logitech G410 or Corsair Strafe would do wonders.

Note: I'm using Blackbird's setup as a starting point, so feel free to change out any parts.

The keyboard is pretty nice, come with a free mouse atm. I prefer blue switches. I prefer Air cooler due to no leak possibility :) should handle 1080p 144hz gaming very well.

Air cooler is much nicer since I am not a huge fan of liquid cooling. I've got the keyboard and mouse situation under wrap. Thanks for your help. I'm gonna be still making changes if the needs arise.

Just bear in mind the money for that GTX1080 was saved elsewhere, you may want to use the 960 Evo SSD in place of the SATA WD Blue I've chosen or substitute a stronger CPU cooler if you plan on some serious overclocking.
Here's how it looks with the Samsung SSD and Noctua cooler ( minus KB this time ):
