Build Opinions

[Hydraengineer]

Was looking for opinions on this build. It's replacing my current PC, as it's on its way out. (Thought it was a bad motherboard, but still behaves poorly. I'm sure it's the graphics card at this point. Already spent $300 on new board, new GPU replacement is as much as a current gen card.)

 

I'm trying for gaming in 2k with two monitors. I plan on reusing my two monitors, current case, and one of my SSD's as a boot drive. Plan on buying another SSD for games.

 

Monitors: Asus VG32VQ1B 31.5" 2560 x 1440 165 Hz Curved Monitor

Case:       Cooler Master MasterCase H500M ATX Mid Tower Case

SSD:        Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
