Budget: Around $1500 (AUD)

Country: Australia

Aim: Mainly gaming, from warzone to FFXIV  and would like to play new releases to come with some room to upgrade later down the track.

I run two 1080 monitors but would like to get a 1440 monitor down the track to swap one of my old ones out.

Other details : I've got a 1080ti from my old build, and all peripherals but if you have any suggestions for a 1440p screen aswell I'd love to hear them

 

This is the current build I've put together but would love some feedback and know if there's anything I should change.

Cheers

Got it down cheaper, and with extra case fans. Mount the pre-installed front fan at the top-rear of the case as an exhaust fan. Mount the extra fans at the front of the case, as intake fans.

Thanks for all the replies, I'm guessing a x570 board just isn't worth it for gen 4 right now?

I'll also contemplate swapping to a 5800x 

X570 isnt worth it cause gen4 ssds arent worth it to most ppl

 

5800x will be abit more futureproof than the 5600x for gaming since games are eventually gonna start using 8 cores, though 5900x is overkill for gaming just in case if you were considering it
