Quick one I threw together:

Does not include a hard drive, only an SSD. Maybe you have a storage drive you can reuse, if not $50 more gets u 1TB.

For your monitor which I believe is 1440p, I would suggest a 970 or higher, especially in the titles you want to play.

EDIT: Also you can go with a 550W PSU and save a few dollars, but that wouldnt let you do SLI later if u wanted to do that.
EDIT #2: You could also use a R9 390, has higher VRAM, double., would be same price, maybe slightly more performance vs wattage? However if u wanted to crossfire you would need a higher psu.

PSU is enough to run crossfire in the future if you wish.
