What kind of monitor, keyboard and mouse are probably best left up to you, since there is a lot more preference involved with those choices.

here is something i did
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9cf3gL

i chose that led ram because the metal heatsinks pull right off. thus, you could easily paint these green to match everything if you were so inclined. Also the LED's look cool, but if you don't like them you can simply choose other ram since this is a little pricier because its stylish.

edit: i left some budget out so we can consider monitor and keyboard.

Why not just add a 1080 to ur current pc
Then use virtualization to run 2x gaming pcs out of 1 the tower?
