Approximate Purchase Date: I am not in a rush, but I am hoping to buy everything before school starts up again so before mid-late august

Budget Range: Around $2000

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Mostly to play Games(MMORPGs, League of Legends, world of Warcraft, dayz etc) but also to watch some movies on and do some school work on might start streaming league of legends as well

Parts Not Required: I need a Keyboard and Monitor but it isn't included in the $2000 it will be a separate purchase so you guys can feel free to add those in there as well but suggest them please, don't include them in the $2000, thanks^^

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No Preference, whatever you guys feel is the best :D

Country: (e.g.: India) Good ol' US of A

Parts Preferences: No Preferences as I have little knowledge of computers =/ but I am assuming with my budget i'd like to go for a Intel and maybe a G.Skill Trident X 2133 but as I stated above whatever you guys feel is best, I will gladly change it!

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: I have no clue, SLI I believe.

Monitor Resolution: At Least 1080p

Additional Comments:
I don't plan on doing any dual monitor gaming, I do want a cool looking case though if that's possible ^^

thanks in advance everyone for all the help, I really appreciate it,
- Kris

p.s. I already own a Logitech G502 mouse.

from what I understand, you don't need something as expensive as $2k. Also, I personally think overclocking, you wouldn't need it either.

Sorry I edited my System Usage a bit, I also plan on streaming some League of Legends games and playing some higher intensity games since i'll be using a PC not a laptop lol
