I definitely wouldn't recommend a fixed refresh monitor when you can get 144Hz FreeSync for $100 less.

Mobo is pretty expensive. Gigabyte Aorus B450M = $90. Put the savings toward a Ryzen 2600 for $160.

Memory should be 3000MHz ($100 for 2x8GB)

That gtx1060 has a $15 MIR ending today. Or, for the same performance as a GTX1060:
RX580 8GB + 2 free games = $165

Agreed you can do better for the price.

Your also missing storage so I put a 500gb SSD into it.

Kept the Black/Red Theme for the build.

These builds won't even come close to running higher demaning games at 1080p 144fps. Don't buy a ryzen 1300x it's a horrible deal when a 2600 cost only 20$ more and it's much better. You need something like a 2600 paired with a rx 2070 to get the performance you want.

The thing is, do you need it and is it worth spending all that extra money for something that won't make a difference unless you are a top .1% player.

What other games do you want to play at 144fps? Ark requires for more power than the other 2 titles which are easy to push 144fps. If you want AAA titles at 144 then you need a very expensive system. However, you can settle in the middle. Build a system that can run these lower graphic games at 144fps and still push between 60 to 90fps in AAA games, but the price is significantly less.

The cpu to buy is definitely the 2600 and you don't need to OC as it boost itself automatically. Mine pushed to 3.9 on all cores when gaming, you can get a stable OC to about 4.1. You don't gain much from 3.9 to 4.1.

We really need to know what fps you want on AAA games before we can give you good recommendations. The rx580 or gtx 1060 is good, but the 2060 is MUCH better and the RX590 is a good card, but they both cost more money. It might be worth it, but it depends on your other games. If you list low demanding games then a 580 is the way to go.

Something like this is great, but the gpu can be swapped based on what else you will play. Whatever you do make sure to get a good mother board. This is an amazing board for the price, one of the best b450s and a steal for under 100$
