My current budget is $2000

Firstly i dont own a pc monitor nor a keyboard as i have been using a laptop for the past few years.*

Secondly im a total beginner in making a custom pc. And i play games like gta 5, csgo, dota 2, hoping to play them at max or ultra setting though.*

Lastly i would like to thank beforehand to those who reply to my thread*

let's just give you an entire desktop setup then LOL. I include everything like speakers as well since you do not have a desktop setup.

Dell S2316H @209
Windows 8 Home Premium @135
Tesoro Xcalibur (try each switch to see which one you like) @108 (Cybermind)
Swans M10 @119 (Cybermind)

i5-6400 + MSI B150M Bazooka @421
1x8GB Kingston DDR4-2133 @78
Crucial BX100 @129
WD Blue 1TB @77
Zotac GTX970 @479
Seasonic M12II 520W @95
Corsair 100R @85
Total 1935

All from PC themes unless otherwise stated

The remaining money can go look for a mouse... mouse is personal feeling, each person got a different preference, like I like Deathadder but you might like something else.
