What is your goal? What will you be playing, and at what resolution?
That's probably more CPU than you really need, tbh. I'll defer to experts but a comparable i5 will probably be good for any gaming rig.
Yeah, that's my opinion. Dial back the mobo, RAM, and CPU and go with a better GPU.

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.

Goal is gaming, most assuredly. Now, will that mean the most robust, intense games? Probably not.
So, spec down to an i7-6700k and Mobo to match, then 16GB of RAM, but upgrade to a 1080.
Anyone seen much benefit from SLI these days? Never got into it initially, but I remember reading that the benefits (for gaming at least) were nowhere near being cost effective.
