Is this all gonna to go together fine?

I'm upgrading from an Alienware 17 r3 Laptop. I'm trying to have it run games like Red Dead 2 or anything that I interesting in the future, while also looking pretty nice. 

 

I'm thinking of going with:

 

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor

be quiet! Dark Rock 4 CPU Cooler

Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard

G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory

Crucial P1 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME

Crucial MX500 500 GB 2.5" 

Asus GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB STRIX GAMING Advanced Video Card

Corsair iCUE 220T RGB ATX Mid Tower Case

Corsair RM (2019) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Corsair iCUE SP 120 RGB Pro w/Lightning Node CORE 52 CFM 120 mm Fans

 

I'm not sure on things like the Dark Rock Pro 4 because I know its huge and might block the ram. Not sure how much I'll need on a boot drive for windows and such, so I went with 500 GB.

I'd opt for the RX5700XT instead if you're considering a 2070 series, as the Radeon card is cheaper and performs similar across the board.

Neither card will pull 1440/144Hz in every game though, so if that's a priority, look at the 2080 series instead.

I'd have the boot drive as a 250gb nvme and a 1tb sata drive for games. The noctua nh-d15s idls a very good cooler compatible with most ram. Get a txm or rmx psu, they are both better than the rm.

Honestly even my 2080 Ti doesn’t pull 1440/144hz in every game. ? I even have it and my 8700K overclocked and still struggle getting above 100 FPS in some games.

1080p sounds just fine. 1440 was wishful thinking considering I know nothing about monitors. Just hoping I can get something higher than 60hz.

1440p 75Hz should be about perfect for the RTX2070S/RX5700XT, so that'd be a good place to start.
