For a system build under $3k, I would go for an i7 cpu and 1x GTX980. Put at least 12GB of memory for gaming as 6GB doesn't seem to cut it for some games. Also a really nice ultra wide monitor like the LG 34UC97-S or LG 34UM95-P.
I've been rocking an i7 930 (lga1366) since 2010. It is still going strong and does what I need to without maxing out. Thou the X58 motherboard is now the bottleneck as it doesn't support NVidia GPU's 600 series and higher.
