Just looking for some tips

[TechDevJorge]

Current build I set up back in 2013 to give you an idea of where I'm coming from. My video card I had to replace a couple years back because my MSI 670 shit the bed. I currently do not own a 144hz (sad I know..) monitor either

I5-3570k 4.2OC

8GB of Corsair Vengeance ddr3 

MSI Z77A-GD65 

MSI GTX 1060 OC

800 Watt Corsair Silent Pro Gold (still works so can possibly reuse)

So now on to where I need some advice. My budget for my next build is roughly 1800-1900 dollars US. I dont do any rendering or streaming, but I do use my PC to create VM's and some remote sysadmin work. For whatever reason every time I start to do my build on the Microcenter website or even in pcpartpicker I cant seem to stop myself from going over my damn budget. I need to be able to include a 1440p freesync/gsync monitor, play at decent framerates and would like to have some decent ARGB fans/ram (it's a want not a need i know) if possible as well. 

Anybody mind throwing me some ideas? I also already have a Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVme ready to go so a hard drive is not needed.  

 

All input is greatly appreciated.

The only problem I see here is the freesync display. AFAIK amd can do both gsync and freesync now but Nvidia still only allows gsync. Not sure though.

It's a little moreexpensive than the option from @TechDevJorgeand a little over budget but you got an ips panel and that bling you asked for

nvidia enabled vesa vrr (AMD freesync) support in their driver a while back, its not guaranteed to work but worth a shot, otherwise according to friend of mine which uses a 1440p 144Hz panel with freesync (on a 2070) that isn'ta big issue.

its the other way around.......

 

Freesync is Vesa adaptive sync. something Nvidia opened themselves to last year. 

 

gsync is still locked down.

Ah yes, that makes much more sense. Thanks!
