Budget (including currency): looking for around 2000 USD, monitor can be ignored for price ceiling

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, Heavily Modded Skyrim/Fallout 4

Other details:  1440p 144hz main monitor, second monitor can be 1080p, timeframe: not in a rush

 

 

I tried to throw together a PC but i don't know really what im doing, is the CPU way outpacing the GPU? 

 

Motherboard: picked one that had wireless, is there a better one and i grab a wireless card separately?

 

Fractal Design Pop Air ATX Mid Tower Case
vs
Fractal Design North ATX Mid Tower Case

Differences in these cases besides price point?

Looking for function over appearance. Quite/Cooling. 
There was also a note with the Fractal Design North about GPU length and drive bays. But i dont know how much that matters. 
 

Do i need more fans?

 

I am not beholden to any of the items

more expenisve, but better performance and overclocking capable. the case has better airflow and comes with rgb fans in the box.

you dont need an aio for anything but i9 cpus or heavy oc jobs just get an nh-d15 or peerless assassin

looks mostly fine, i probably would have invested more in the cpu cooler personally.

 

also, keep in mind that the psu you have chosen doesnt have a price, and that psu is an extra 99.99, so your total is more like 2037.82

 

you most likely dont need 2tb of nvme. just go with like a 1tb nvme and 1tb sata ssd. saves some money that you can put to fit the psu and a better cooler.

 

looking at the peak power draw of your system, you also dont need 750 watts. you could drop that to 650 to also save more money and invest elsewhere

Nope on the fans, because the case comes with plenty. However, I would recommend putting more money towards the cpu cooler. You can go cheaper on the cpu, motherboard, and RAM though too.

Size up on your cpu cooler.
