Im looking to build my first rig and am needing some help, im worried that the setup i have here is a little overkill for casual gaming, however id like to not have to upgrade for some time. I'm currently playing on a $600 USD prebuilt Best Buy PC and it cant handle much more than Fortnite and Sea of Thieves on all low settings. i have a budget of around $2000 USD and would like to get as much power and performance as i can for my budget. i will be running 1 - AOC C27G1 27.0" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor with possibly a second monitor being added in the future.

Intel isn’t worth the price these days. Is there any reason you chose to go intel?

For ~$1500 you can get a a 1440p gaming rig. Do you plan on sticking with 1080p or are you considering 1440p?
