Budget (including currency): $2500

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:  Esports titles and single player games

Other details : It's been almost 6 years since I built my last PC, so I've had to research all the new stuff that's come out since then. I've put together a solid gaming rig to the best of my knowledge, but I was wondering if you guys had suggestions on any great parts I may have missed in my research. I'm currently gaming at 1080p 144hz but look to upgrade my monitor later. I'm looking to get all the parts ordered as soon as I can before everything goes out of stock before the holidays.

Well, the RM that you linked is overpriced. The RMx is better and cheaper. Don't think you need the extension cables but that's fine. If you are going to spend $200 on a 2TB SSD, I would get an NVMe, like the Inland QLC. Personally would just get 2x16GB RAM instead of 4x8GB. Also pretty sure you can get the Lancool II Mesh for $20 cheaper from Microcenter (you can order it online).

So something closer to this:
