First PC Build

I am building my first pc and am looking for some advice on what components I should pick.

Budget- prefer $800-950, could stretch to $1000

Location- US

Use- Mostly Gaming  (SOTR, COD MW, Forza Horizon 4, Anno 1800) and some light productivity

Peripherals- 1 1440p 120 Hz monitor, prefer gaming at higher res, lower fps 

Research so Far- Ryzen 5 3600 and an EVGA RTX 2060 KO but i am concerned if this graphics card would run pretty loud and would appreciate anyone relating their  experience with this card. 

 

Open to suggestions on all components, with my preference on getting a not very fancy case without a glass side panel.

Considering you're playing at 1440p, better idea to get an R5 2600 and upgrade the GPU instead.

The 1600AF is out of stock across the US, at least from what I can tell. Amazon, Newegg, etc.

dam it was just in stock last night. I'd guess amazons hold on new stock is stopping it.
