I would suggest going with a 3570k + Noctua NH-D14 or Phanteks CPU Cooler ,7950 w/ Boost, a Bitfenix Shinobi + more fans, and overclocking the hell out of the system.

It actually offered advice/ideas, opposed to just suggesting another one of the countless permutations of over kill builds.
-Intel SSD? Do they live up to the quality? Worth it?
-HAF X would suit the NASSAAA computer ideal. Plus it is pretty rocken...good features...cool looking.
-Is getting RAM with 88824 @1600mhz timings worth 50 dollars? I see some CAS 9 1333 Mhz Ram, and I wonder why you don't go with higher performace Ram, especially for such an expensive build.

I always wanted to argue with a brick wall, I suppose the internet is the second best option.
$2K isn't enough to even come close to saying you have a "NASA" computer. If you really want a top-of-the-line personal computer you are going to spending around $10K. E.g. quad 690s, 3970x (or personally, wait until 3980x), 500MB+ cache big SSD, 64GB 1800MHz+ RAM, etc.
Anyway, I made this build for you with a $2K budget.

Why a $300 MoBo? Why the unnecessary processor for games (or much of anything outside the professional world really)? Liquid cooler......if you are doing liquid, go full custom, otherwise there are plenty of air coolers that beat it. Why the retardedly priced RAM? There are better SSD's out there. Massively overkill PSU. 7970 is a much better value graphics card.
