[SOLVED] PC Build Help - budget 1500$

[Petar Smash]

Hello guys, I need help with building a PC (system only), so I can use it for gaming in 1440p 144hz.
I am selling my laptop atm because I got a chance to get a good deal and the problem here is that there is new hardware coming out in the next month or two, but I can't wait that long without a PC due to work and gaming ofc.
So, I need your help building something at a budget of 1500$ +/- 100$.

Without
Monitor,Keyboard,Mouse,Headset,speakers. System build only.

Monitor?
Keyboard/Mouse?
Headset/Speakers?
Operating System?

What are you thinking in terms of components? Intel or AMD preferences?

I can tell you the best GPU bargains might be had in the used market right now. Lot of people selling off RTX2000 series cards to get 3000 series.

I will budget around $500 for a GPU and build around that.

Basic black, mostly:

Alternative would be an Intel i5-10600k and a Z490 motherboard. More gaming performance, less upgradeability.

Potential GPUs:

1080Ti $360 shipped one on offer
RTX 2080 Super: $440 shipped.
RTX 2080TI $550, multiple confirmed sales at this pricing.

Can't really recommend buying anything new other than the soon to be released RTX3070 for around that much. RTX3060 won't be out for a while either. No clue on AMDs upcoming prices, so can't much there.

All I can say is paying retail for a RTX2080 Super or even RTX 2070 Super is going to suck when the 3070 launches at $500-550.

System build only. Both are fine.

Sitting at $900 as is, has some spinning storage that could be replaced with a single larger SSD. Switch to Intel will cost a little bit. That is pretty much it without waiting for AMD 4000 series CPUs, and 6000 Series GPUs.

RTX3080 is a little out of the budget.

Ebay listings are okayish for GPU prices, but trustworthiness goes way down. I mean you could go for a low-end GPU just to tide you over until parts become available. Used 1070 will be under $200 and can do many games at 1440p, not necessarily at 144 FPS though.

I was thinking of waiting for the RTX 3070 to come out. Until then I would be able to use the GPU my friend would borrow until that happens. But until then I was thinking of building around it. So, I was thinking the i5-10600k would be a good place to start.
It would be good that future upgrading is possible.
Thank you for your help!
