2.6K Low Noise/Low Dust Gaming Build

Budget:
[2.5-2.6K Build]

Expectations:
[To have Stable 60 FPS Gaming on a 1920x1080 (which will be upgraded later) w a second screen,some future proofing, along with space to upgrade ]

Usage:
[Daily]

Special Needs:
[Longevity is a must. I can only really afford to buy a system about every 5-8 years :(.

No/low noise is another must, but I'll take some noise in exchange for longevity.

It must be able to contend with dust. No matter how hard I try my apartment is dusty :(.

Lastly, in this build, I don't storage drive, as I have SSHD in my current machine I will xfer over.

Also if there are any nifty bits, or recommendations that might be gained by waiting abit. I can. As I intended to wait for DS's next free shipping sale anyhow . ^_^]

Thank you all in advance!

Sorry to hijack this but I am going for a very similar system and am wondering if the 980 Ti class GPU is really worth the money. My current monitor is max res 1920 x 1200. As such I am wondering if it is better to get the 970 (best next lower value point) and wait to get pascal and a new monitor down the road, or splurge on 980 Ti now.

Also do you know what exact model the EVGA750 watt upgrade is? I am thinking it is the G2 but not sure.
