First Gaming PC (Just bought a 3070 TI FE from Best Buy)

[Dragonisles]

Budget (including currency): $1900 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Overwatch, Apex, Control, Hearts of Iron IV, and I want it to be pretty future proof

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 a 144hz 1080p monitor but plan to upgrade to a 1440p monitor at some point down the line. I just bought a 3070 TI FE from Best Buy so looking to get the rest of the parts! I put this pcpartpicker list together but if you think I could make changes no matter how big or small I would love to here your opinion. This is my first gaming PC as I am upgrading from my old gaming laptop with a i7-6700HQ and Nvidia 980M.

I feel like the 500GB SSD is not really required, but otherwise I basically agree with this list. If it's over budget the first thing I would cut is the CPU down to a 5800x.

Everything but that 5900x seems great. Potentially a little overkill for his use case but it can't hurt.

I’m worried about the CL of 18 vs 16.

An optimized version

 

Maybe spend the extra money on a better gpu or another ssd

 

And no need for aio if you arent ocing

I just bought the 3070 TI as it was the only one I could get in stock.

I plan to overclock if possible. I’ve heard you want to have 3600 c16 ram. Is 3200 good enough?

Just overclock 3200mhz to 3600mhz or 4000 mhz if you can run your fclk at 2000mhz, then again id suggest going for 3600mhz and tuning the timings instead of 4000mhz, a good starting voltage for messing with timings is 1.5v

Yea, it will be fine. I ideally you want at least 3600 mhz to match Ryzen's infinity fabric (reduces latency). Honestly, it really looks like it adds 1-2% performance to go 3600 mhz. If price different is not too much, I would go for 3600mhz. You can always overclock the ram like Somerandomtechyboi said.
