Hey everyone,



I recently got into PC gaming, and I have finally made the decision to build a gaming PC. I plan on using this only for gaming, no streaming, as well for some schoolwork since I am a college student. I would like to build a computer that can run 1440p 144hz. I just so happen to have a monitor for this, and I can't help but want to get the most out of it :) I am trying not to spend over $2000 USD on this: I don't have much money, and I am hoping to buy some of the parts over time with the little income that I have. The less money I have to spend, the better. I've done a little bit of research, and I came up with this list of parts and I was wondering if I could get some feedback on what I have so far. I am not worried about mouse and keyboard right now, and I plan on running Windows 10.

I might be experimenting a little bit with overclocking, but I still don't have much clue about what I'm doing so I might be running stock settings for a while. Is there anywhere that I need to spend a little bit more money? Anywhere I could cut a little bit down on the cost? Recommendations on different parts? Any help would be appreciated.



Thanks!
