Budgeting question regarding custom build

[Psychedelicacy]

If I wanted to build a pc with a GTX 1080, but I also need to buy every single component and peripheral (mouse, monitor, keyboard, etc), how much would my budget have to be?
Is under $2000 realistic? Or would it be a better idea to get a gaming laptop, which comes with all that?

1. Gaming laptop is always a bad idea. Too hot in that compact box, no good.
2. What resolution do you want to play games? 1080p, 2k or 4k?

Understood.
Most likely 2k if not 4k. But my probable mix would be i7 7700k/gtx 1080 unless another one is better.

Any preference on the peripherals? need wireless? dvd?

Forget laptops for gaming. A $1000 desktop performs like a $2000 laptop.

For $2k I'd get a 1440p 165Hz monitor and a i7 + gtx 1080.

$2,000 is easily doable.

Thanks guys, I'd just need a keyboard, mouse, and wifi connectivity, along with a monitor

Don't neglect to budget in a Windows OS for this new system.

If you're building everything from scratch (no old parts), you can probably get under $2000, but you may have to compromise some places. Get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo for a cooler. You can pick up some Medium tower cases for under $60. There are some good monitors for under $130.

You can switch MB brand, GPU brand/design, case, PSU, peripherals around if you want to. You can also replace the monitor of Ryzen 1600/1080 ti build with a 1440p 144 Hz monitor.
