Hello,

This would be my first PC build and I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me figure out what I need. I want to build a PC that can play most games on a 1080p 144hz monitor at least high settings with 90 or more FPS.
The monitor I have in mind is the ViewSonic VX2758-C-MH 27" 144Hz or the ViewSonic VX3258-PC-MHD 32" 165Hz. If you think there's a better monitor please don't hesitate to tell me.

Thank you.

If you feel there isn't enough airflow you can buy some case fans if needed I also don't know your currency so this may be different if you aren't in the US also I wouldn't expect 90 or more FPS in any 2020 titles as long as you are staying above 60 FPS you should be fine.

My currency is USD. How long do you recommend I wait? I appreciate you helping me out.

No problem and legit a week is all you need to wait and if you prefer looks over performance don't get Noctua they have amazing coolers but their color scheme is horrific and make sure to make the SSD your boot drive not the HDD. Also, you are probably gonna want to get a g sync IPS or VA panel because it will help with screen tearing and stuttering if any happens.
 
This should be enough for 1080p/144hz...

I'm gonna go with the build you posted cause I honestly like it. That means I'll have to change the Panel but that's all good. Thank for everything man and is it ok if I message you in a week or two to see which of the new GPU's and CPU's you recommend from the new ones?

Thank for everything man.
