going to buy in July, im in the military at the time and wont be at my final duty station until then, upgrading from a samsung NP750 laptop, planning to use a 144hz 1440p monitor

my first time building a PC myself, my preferred games are more CPU/RAM intensive over graphics but i still want a good GPU because i do enjoy graphic heavy games at times and i want something that will hold its own for quite a while in the future. My biggest questions are about my motherboard and GPU, i dont know what i should choose exactly, i am certain about my CPU choice, it is exactly what i want. any and all advice is very welcome i appreciate your time and help.

You could do this with a 4070 ti, would run  great for 1440p. Also are you going for a black  and white theme?

Seems you don't have that much need for 12 cores, then a 7800X3D will be faster in games (8 cores with cache and no nonsense undirected thread management..)

Current price is scammy bc they're on shortage, should be $500 normally

Don't need that much RAM neither

Swapped drives for a fast boot drive and a good storage one

Also you could get a cheaper and faster AMD GPU

I'm supposing you already have the case, else don't buy that, it's a big old design hotbox

Edited @PDifolco build with my own rationale.

1. Going with full 4TB would actually be 10 cent per gigabyte cheaper even if surface level cost looks higher, because it is.
2. Switching from Ripjawz to Flare, so we can get EXPO profile on an AM5 board which would go smoother. Both priced the same anyway so whatever, semantics.
3. Asus board isnt having a good time booting at 6000 and there are cheaper boards that can do the trick.
4. Ornata is currently the same price as the Gskill KM360 and that thing comes with mechanical switches and also 1000hz poll rate. The only thing you lost is Synapse (good riddance) and also a numpad.
5. To me the Cloud recommendations kinda fade with Moondrop wider availability in the US, so Aria it is. But yeah, i agreed that Cloud Alpha and Cloud Stinger would be it for just good budget headset, and of course you have no mic going with Aria which means you have to use a separate external mic.
