I have a budget of around 2000$, i can go higher if it really makes a difference but i would rather not. I prefer Nvidia products over AMD. I am clueless about what are the best money/quality SDD (same thing about power supplies) out there so feel free enlighten me . Considering i am doing 3D modeling on this PC, i require a minimum of 16go RAM. I know the Case is flashy, if someone got a really great case with great airflow and not terrible looking please show it !

Thank you very much for your help, it's really appreciated!

That all looks pretty good. The only thing I'd suggest would be to get the ASUS GTX 780 instead, because the cooler works better. Also, the fractal arc XL is a nice full tower case that isn't too flashy. You may also want to consider a hyper 212 evo cooler, just because the stock cpu cooler is pretty bad.
