Noticed that this forum is actually helpful for people trying to build with a budget
I haven't built/replaced a computer in >2 years and I haven't at all kept up with what new exciting hardware has came up the past year. So I've got ~$2100 to blow on a whole new build as this one is getting "worn out".
the minimum target I've got is being able to run games like Battlefield 3 (and then hopefully Battlefield 4) on max settings and keep a steady ~100 fps (120FPS is my true goal, but i'm not at all sure if that's possible with a 2000 dollar budget)
I also want to start streaming TF2 again, I've started getting some FPS skipping problem recently so streaming is out of the picture (probably fixable by cleaning the insides though).
As I live in Norway the parts you may find probably won't have the same prices i'll use, but if you have 2000 builds it probably won't differ too much with the prices over here.
TL;DR: most powerful $2000 builds you can find pls

will make sure to check this out later, most of the items featured in the build you posted are sold out in the webstores I trust, they'll probably restock before I place my orders.

Here's a rudimentary build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/tehh4ck3r/saved/1rSB
You could probably go up to 16GB of RAM if you really wanted to.

Computer prices are considerably steeper in Norway. Generally 1/3 again or more. Your oil money is strong.
Had a Norwegian climbing partner a couple years ago, and he ended up buying a new laptop over here because it was something like 1/2 the price it would be in Norway. Just had to live without seeing the ÆØÅ on the keyboard.
Conversations often went like this, "OMG A pint of beer in this bar is only $6!!! I'LL TAKE A DOZEN, PLEASE!!!"
"Paul No!!! Let's buy cases instead!"
"We'll do that too!"
