$2000 is the budget for a high-end gaming rig. This will buy you the strongest cpu/gpu platform w/ high quality parts. For instance:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor ($378.99 @ SuperBiiz)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Nepton 240M 76.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($102.99 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty X99X Killer ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard ($249.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($114.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($173.45 @ OutletPC)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5"...
Are you going to play at 1440p? Because if you're going 1080p I'd say your GPU is overkill, and if you're going 4k, then I'd recommend getting 2 GPU's. I also recommend 980 Ti over Titan X.
