$1500 Gaming PC Help

1. I live in the United States and have $1500USD to build a pc, buy a keyboard, and get a monitor. I already have a huge mouse pad and a logitech g pro wireless mouse. I am willing to go a little bit over $1500 if it will get me much better preformance.

2. I plan on using this PC for gaming. I want something futureproof so I dont have to buy a new gpu/cpu in 3 years.

3. With my budget I plan on running 1 144htz monitor at 1440p

4. I do need to purchase a keyboard and 144htz monitor

5. I am upgrading as I am gaming on an ASUS Strix Laptop with a 980M in it. It has been a good laptop but it getting slower and slower month by month.

The motherboard has just a couple less features (which isn't a big deal), the PSU isn't as good, and the case is a little airflow restrictive. However, the overall performance would technically be slightly higher

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Less storage, slightly "meh"-er power supply. The one I posted has faster memory as well, higher airflow case

 

The difference between the 2070 super and the 2080 is very small.

 

The other build isn't bad, but there's those nit-picky things

The case comes with 2 already- so you can just run off those if you want. I might add one more intake though.

Both cases come with a very similar fan configuration. I would recommend an extra case fan for either.
