You absolutly do not need a 2011-v3 mobo/cpu unless you need the extra PCI lanes for SLI. Even then its really a marginal upgrade.
Drop down to a 1151 socket Z170 motherboard and i7 -6700k. Really you can get away with an i5, but you have the budget to push it to an i7.
You dont need 32gb ram unless you are doing some serious editing.
For the budget, get a GTX 1080.
ETA: im assuming this is a gaming build. also, would help to know what resolution and frame rate you are shooting for.
