Looking to Upgrade

Remph · June 22, 2020

Obligatory Notice: First time forum user, created this profile to ask this question but have been lurking for a while.

Budget (including currency): ~$2500 USD

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: It will used mostly for gaming and normal every day program stuff (excel, ppt, word, etc). Mostly I play FFXIV and have been decently engaged in Witcher 3. I also play the D3 seasons when they come out but burn out when I complete the season journey.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I currently have an ASUS ROG laptop from about 4 years ago and I am finding it pretty difficult to use multi monitors with higher resolutions. I am looking for something that will support 2 monitors, one for super awesome gaming and the other because I tend to have several windows open at the same time (reference, music, work email). I've got a 32" Ultrawide Samsung 60hz that I have been using as most of gaming, but would love to be able to break into the 144hz or 165hz game to be able to experience that level of gaming. I am also looking to future proof this a bit since I will be in school for the next 3 years. Since the world lock down, I have noticed the prices on a steady rise and I am fine to wait until the fall (I hear new goodies are coming out). All of that being said, I have never done this before, it looks easy enough but still super concerned about actually doing it. I have watched a ton of LTT's videos for ideas starting points, but sometimes I am unsure what is super overkill and what is what I am looking for.

So far, this is the list I came up with and just curious how over the top I am and if I can move some the cost from the components to an awesome monitor.

I am hoping to stay with a white theme as I think the lights reflect better but it's not a deal breaker if there isn't RGB, it kinda looks cool. Let me know if I am missing anything or if I am completely out of my gourd. I do realize that perhaps water cooling is overkill, I think it looks cool. I also realize that I don't have a monitor in there, but I am hoping you guys can help me get the best bang for my buck. Please be kind

Anyway, thank you in advance for looking this over and helping me out. I am excited and nervous to dip my toes into the custom built PC game!!
