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 27inch 1080p 60hz monitor and a 27inch 1440p  165hz monitor.

 

 

Hi everyone. A newbiie here. I've been wtahcing LTT content for years now and I finally decided to build my own pc. I have a maximum budget of 1k. This is my part selection. Any observations or recomendations are more than welcomed. 

 

I intend playing at 1440p and 120hz (if possible higher).

That should be pretty ideal for what you might do with a couple extra cores there over a lower cpu and a decent gpu. under budget too lol

Thanks for the suggestions. I was hoping for a bit more ram, due to ocasional cad work. I use up 16gb pretty quick.

Ok... Well you can go for a cheaper 12600K, but you lose 4 ecores and only save 30$, but then you can add 16GB RAM for 45$, net additional cost is only 15$

It'll still be better than a 11700
