    You could get a cheaper case, but when you're spending $2K on a PC I think a nice case is worth it... You could save like $50 at best, and cable management and airflow would be much worse.

    Yes. I guess you could buy Win8 and upgrade for free using the Media Creation Tool. You'd save $25 by doing that.

    The basic rule of thumb I have is spend on Processor, GPU and RAM go for sheer power there and also a fast SSD and you will be good

    CPU is much worse, with 2 cores less it won't last nearly as long. Better at single thread, but a 5820K is more than good enough and the extra cores are worth it.
    Titan X, waste of money, about 10% better than a 980Ti and nearly 50% more expensive. And the 980Ti is already overkill for 1080p60.
    32GB RAM, overkill, you're fine with 8 now and 16 is enough for a long time. More than that is only useful for video editing or massive multitasking.

    I can of course do better if my budget is further expanded to $2500.

    4TB of HDD storage, 500GB SSD, a 6-core CPU and a full tower case for great airflow and room for upgrades. For $200 less. If you really want to waste your money on RAM you don't need, you can go for 32GB and it's still $100 cheaper.

    Hell of a downgrade, but it's a third of the price. Again though I can do better for the money:
    http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CrDMhM
    CPU is almost the same performance (could go for Skylake but it's a waste of money), graphics card is much better (more powerful, plus twice as much memory), and several better quality parts (RAM, case, PSU). And it's actually cheaper. You could get the same CPU as the pre built (i5-6500) and still be within $700.

    It won't last nearly as long as a $2K PC, but it will still run anything near max settings at 1080p 60fps. And honestly I think it's a better idea for someone who's not experienced (a first build over 1K is dumb IMO, let alone 2K).

    How many times have you changed your budget already? Anyway.
    http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/DPqzt6
    Just over $1000. Should easily max out BeamNG and get 50-60fps in most maps. Not sure about BO3 since I haven't played it, but it should run just fine in 1080p.
