[SOLVED] 1000 euro - gaming 1440p 60Hz NO GPU

Hello!
I'm looking to build a new config for gaming at 1440p 60Hz.

Due to GPU prices I was thinking of buying everything for the build except for the graphic card, and use my old GTX 770 until a price drop. Is this a good idea or should I just wait to buy the whole setup?

I am willing to spend about 1000 euro for everything but the GPU.
Here what I put together:

CPUAMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU CoolerARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO CPU Cooler
MotherboardMSI B550-A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard
MemoryCrucial Ballistix 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory
StorageWestern Digital WD Blue 2 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive
StorageSamsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Power SupplyADATA XPG CORE Reactor 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Any suggestion about build optimisation and maybe some cost saving, whitout losing too much performance?

In the future, I was thinking of RTX 3060 Ti as GPU.

Thank you very much!

I suppose it depends on what you have now. If you can run everything you want with a GTX770 and your current config, not going to be much benefit moving to a new build in gaming. If you do other things with your PC, then sure.

Power supply would probably get a no from me, not that familiar. Doesn't mean it isn't a fine unit, but I like to stick with more recognizable brands like Corsair, Seasonic, SuperFlower, etc.

The power supply is a good one. It is listed as tier A on here:

I don't know if it is worth it to you for a new rig but it is always nice having a new PC :)
