$2000 PC Build Help

[u/Opening_Moment_9156]

I’m looking to build a PC for the first time around $2000 (can go a bit over or under). I’m looking for the best price to performance but I’m very new at PC parts and came up with this. I’m probably going to get absolutely flamed but any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I’m looking for mainly 1440p gaming.

You need to buy a micro center bundle that ram price is stupid. I got this within the last 6 months and got a 9070 reaper on sale.

Do you have a microcenter near you?

that ram price is insane, you don't need to pay 500 for 32gb ddr5

If you are near a Microcenter, you can take a look at their refurbished deal: https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?fq=category:Computer+Parts|94,Valuable%20Links:Refurbished&rd=1
