Budget (including currency): 1400 max 

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Multiple Virtual Machines, Gaming

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): 

As far as gaming goes this is getting paired with an omen 27x (1440p 240hz) , shooting for above 200 frames for some non graphics-intensive esports titles. On hand, I have a Asus KO 3070 OC, as well as a Corsair 4000D. While I do have the 3070, I am hoping to grab a 3080 so I would like to have my system ready to go if I can land one.

 

The above budget is for the rest of the parts. Like everyone, I think my goal here is to get the most bang for my buck. That being said I would like to avoid paying extra for a marginal performance increase. This is a very tentative parts list and I'm fully open to suggestion.

Also, if anyone has some additional suggestions for extra cooling, it would be appreciated
