As the title says. I need help finding a new computer and honestly, I know jack shit about hardware.

I was thinking of getting an SDD since it loads games better (I think?) and 32gb of ram, other than that, I don't have any preferences as to what should be inside the computer itself.

My budget is something like 2000-2500 USD
 
32gb of RAM isn't needed for gaming, 16gb of fast ram is plenty.

I already have a moniter - 1080x1920, 144Ghz

I don't about the overclocking thing
 
This will be extremely good for 1080p/144hz (even 1440p).
