I'm hoping for help putting together a new system, it has been years since I last kept up with this... Grateful for any help!

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming CoH2, Orcs must die1/2/unchained, new Total Warhammer looks interesting, web browsing, school work, email
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$2,000/yes
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
USA, Pensacola, FL
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
Case, motherboard, videocard, memory, CPU, CPU-cooler, PSU, dvd-burner, keyboard (wired), mouse (wired), 500 G SSD (OS+games), 4 TB-ish HDD storage, monitor (~27"), thermal compound, some reasonable 2.1 computer speakers, and anything else I missed.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
None
6) Will you be overclocking?
No
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
Current monitor 1920x1080, HP2711, pretty happy with it, but it will stay with old system, so something similar, maybe slightly better
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Now
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
USB 3.0, SATA 6Gb/s eSATA
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Yes, Win7 64
 
Please wait about two more weeks and ask for advice then. By then we'll know what's up with Intel's new Skylake platform.

Also, which edition of Windows 7 do you have? Home Premium? Pro? etc.
