Additional Comments: I'm looking for something practical, not showy. I don't care about RGB, aesthetics, etc. Reliable and reasonably priced. I did some research and came up with this build as a rough idea of something that was a balance between performance and affordability. Any feedback would be appreciated.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My faithful system that I built in 2014 is showing its age and I'm looking to play new games (i.e. Elden Ring). I'm also looking to upgrade to 1440p, 144+ Hz.
