I currently have a 2 monitor 1080p 60hz setup, but i would like there to be an upgrade path to 144hz monitor with higher resolution (not 4k though)

 

This gives you a case with better airflow (2x140mm front intake fans + 1x120mm exhaust fan).

RTX40702.jpg

Budget (including currency): 1000-1500

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: R6S, Elden ring, Programming/Comp sci homework (no insane workloads, possible small AI models), MC, other smaller indie games

Other details:

CPU: Intel Core i5-13600KF 3.5 GHz 14-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Deepcool AK620 68.99 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASRock Z790 PG Lightning/D4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
Video Card: MSI RX 6600 XT MECH 2X 8G OC Radeon RX 6600 XT 8 GB Video Card
Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair RM750e (2023) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

 

This build is currently about $1100, I was wondering if this is under-kill/overkill, if there are any money saving opportunities, or any glaring mistakes to a more experienced builder.

What is your resolution or is a monitor to be included in the budget?
