As has been done once or twice before, we have here a thread for builds with whom we are reasonably confidante will run the game better then all-low/ fps limit of 30. Some much more-so then others.
Price ranges are eschewed on the grounds that we still don’t know what the thresholds are for any given framerate/ eye-candy goal, and said thresholds move downward with tweaking, for both clocks on the system, and game settings itself.

With no reporting as to GTX 960s running MSAA2x (or TXAA2x) with MFAA on, scrubbing 2GB off the video card (~$35) isn't the worst idea ever …
Note how little room the PSU Wattage leaves you for upgrades.

So is this the thread where we finally get to ignore the price bracket and give players our actual suggested builds? If so, this will handily play this game at very high settings at 1080p.

You can find great deals on parts at reddit.com/r/buildapcsales, but you have to check everyday.
This is my $1500 build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wYqXTW
Way too overpowered for this thread (60fps at max settings), but I want to stress the importance of waiting for sales. I bought this over a period of 2 months, and saved $500, bringing the total price to around $1000. Note that the GPU is EVGA B-stock, and I got it for around $175 off. They have a lot of 970s on their for low prices.
In the end, my point is that you could feasibly buy parts over a few months as they go on sale, and get a $1000 computer for around $650-$700, or a $3000 computer for around $2300.

Quick question: why would you put so a paltry cooler on an unlocked chip? Seems like that's itching for a change because that chip has a lot more oomph to give you.

Yeah, this game in particular has been finicky with SLI so I refuse to recommend a dual-card solution personally, and there's no reason to recommend a Titan X at all other than having an extra 400 to blow on a card. I mean, unless you're programming with the GPU to do some sort of massive batch of calculations.
I also picked the Pro-series SSD over the EVO series because despite it being cheaper, it's the superior SSD in all ways except space. I probably should have gone with 4 of them instead of 1 and a velociraptor, though.
The DDR4-4000 RAM was also a bust because of the higher latency. The extra latency makes it not better enough to bother with than the DDR4-3600 I picked (cas 17 vs cas 19). I was kind of in a rush, though, so if there is some DDR4-4000+ that is cas 17, we would probably want that.

Ok, you may win the lighting all the money on fire debate, but this does raise some questions:
1. The monitors vs. a 4k 120hz TV's. I'd imagine you could get more bang for a buck going with TV screens with the same performance.
2. That UPS is just silly. I've installed industrial UPS systems that have more power for less. At 12k, hire a contractor.
3. The PCI-E storage whoops the SSD's for performance. Would it be better to go with a RAID controller and a five 10,000 RPM discs setup in a RAID 5 for storage in place of the SSD array? More storage and reliability for a minor performance hit.

On top of that, it's a 'mainstream' platform, which means there are limitations like PCIe lanes available.
Monitors are -always- preferred over TVs for gaming.
Agree on the UPS. No reason for that level of noise here.

I know that's the conventional wisdom, my question is why? Response time? There's some damn fine screens in TV land for less.

The short and skinny is input lag / response time.
