ok sorry for being one of the hundreds of people asking for advice but id love some guidance/recommendations for my build I've been researching for a little :))))))

Budget (including currency): $1,300 to $1,500

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Rainbow 6, COD, CSGO, Valorant, Borderlands 3, mostly competitive FPS.

Other details I just want something to give me that smooth 144fps and 60-90fps for any other game that comes out. 

So far I've got this:

CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor 
CPU Cooler: Corsair iCUE H100i RGB PRO XT 75 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler 
Motherboard: MSI MPG Z390 GAMING EDGE AC ATX LGA1151 Motherboard 
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME SSD
Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB 2.5" SSD
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB WINDFORCE or any 3060ti i can get my hands on
Case: Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Apex AG 750 W 80+ Gold Certified

Operating System: windows 10
 

It totals to about 1.6k, so is there anything I can downgrade and still get buttery smooth gameplay? I'm ignoring accessories for now and just want a solid PC foundation that can last for a while.

Well as a secondary drive it’s fine, because SSDS are expensive. So if you want a good amount of storage you can put some games on your SSD and you can boot off your SSD, and then large files and games you can put on your HDD.
