Build for gaming!

Budget (including currency): Between $1,400 - $1,800

Country: Guam

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Looking to play mostly Crusader Kings 3, WoW: Shadowlands, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and whatever games catch my interest.

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): Honestly, my last pc was from 2013 it was a gift from my wife; nothing high end, it was mainly used for LoL.  Looking to spend some money for a new monitor, a new gaming mouse and keyboard if possible.  I would like to play these games in the highest settings if possible.  I have no clue when it comes to resolution or refresh rates, I would like it to look clean and crisp if that makes sense.  My current GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce GT 640, CPU is Intel i7-6700, monitor Dell E2313H (1920 x 1080 60 Hz).  That is all the information I have at the moment.

 I suggest buying a 1440p 144hz monitor and looking at a youtube video so that you can enable that high refresh rate (requirements include a display port cable, looking though the monitors software etc.) Now idk if the periferals should be included in the budget, so im going to asume they arent. I can make another build if they should be. Let me know

 Great!  Thank you very much for your input, will definitely consider this for my next WoW gaming rig.  By the way, what is a good monitor to run with this?  I appreciate all the input and advice.

Thank you very much!!

If you want some decent but not too expensive periferals I would sugest the g305 with a AAA lithium cell, or i mean the g pro wireless if youve got the money and for the keyboard I would go with a hyperX alloy fps or fps pro if you want a 10 keyless
