So I have a little more money set aside now, and I'm not quite as clueless as I was before. This is what I'm looking at as of right now. I'd like to start buying parts by next month.

I'm still not very knowledgeable on which brands are good and which aren't, so that's mostly where I'm looking for improvements on. I'd prefer to keep the cost down as much as possible, but I'm willing to go up to $1700~1800 if it means improving performance drastically.
- I had a GTX 980 added in originally, but I spent some time comparing the two and came to the conclusion that a 980 wasn't worth the extra ~$200.
- I'm utterly clueless when it comes to motherboards, but I will be running off of wireless internet, and this one seemed alright for the price.
- Don't worry about the monitors. The ones I have added are just there as an example of what I'd like to aim for, and how much I'm willing to spend. I'll start looking into monitors a little more in depth once I'm settled on parts.
- I'd like to set some money aside for a better sound system as well, but that's not an immediate need.
