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 was thinking this setup but I would like to workout kinks in my parts list

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Tpr8QP

Not planning on buying everything now or in one big purchase, might be a few months, a microcenter is coming to Miami close to my job so that will help with buying stuff.

Want ultrawide curved, if you guys have recommendation for gaming that would help. Have a 34' but only 60 Hz. Will be after PC is complete so recommendation might not be up to date when I buy it.

Bit of backstory,

I have a pre-built, next month would be 5 years with it.

Have not had any problems with the games I play until I played the beta of "The First Descendant", rest of my games can be played without having to put everything on low.

Decided it was time for a new PC since I wanted to play the game when it comes out and replay old games like "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" and "Horizon Zero Dawn" on Max setting and other games that I have but have not played. Was planning on using buildredux but wanted something more mine/personal if I was going to spend over $3000 on a PC.

NGL some parts were picked by choosing white and Price high to low on pc part list so some parts I'm wondering if worth it like the RAM since it first Edition and I don't know what that means.

Other parts I picked since It would be my first time building a PC and look like it would be easier to work with like the CPU Cooler since it has the ICUE link that looks like less hassle, same with fans that connect with magnets but don't know if it is easier to build with.

Picked the Video Card for the color and since I saw it on an LTT video, whale pc video. Motherboard since its more compatible with the Video Card and white.

The Video Card i'm planning on buying is in stock, goes out of stock, should I worry about that and pick something else which would also change the motherboard or is it normal for this Video Card.

Haven't picked a case or power supply.

Case I was thinking NV9 from Phanteks since I think the vertcal Video Card looks Cool and like the glass look.

Got lucky or unlucky since Phantek is partnering with cable mod for the Power supply but have no idea how cablemod works, like length and which cables I need. How do I pick the watts for it, is the 1.5 of what says on pcpartpicker, or can I pick a 1000 Watt power supply.

Didn't add other expensive like extra fans that I would need or the cost of Cable mods.

dang video Cards are so expensive, build wouldn't reach 2000 if it wasn't for it.

Should I buy the SSD since its discounted for Black friday/cyber monday or go for another brand/SSD.

Sorry for the long rambling or if this is considered a "Dream PC"(what does this mean btw) just want this PC to be personal and last me longer then the one first one I bought.

How Set are you in going all out new instead of upgrading your current PC?

Because basing that upgrade thought on the beta of a game sounds a little... Rushed...

For 1440p60 you can get away much cheaper or with just upgrades, if you tell us the specs of your current machine.

17-8700K

32 gigs of DDR4 RAM

Navidia 1060 6GB

(No idea of what mother board it is)

Was an asus pre-built from best buy

The game was not the main reason just the nail on the coffin, as long as I could play on moderate graphics I was fine. but I noticed if I wish to play newer games I would need a new PC or an upgrade, for games like cyberpunk 2077.

If there is a main reason it would be to play Shadow of the tomb raider, Horizon zero dawn and upcoming Horizon forbidden west on max setting.

I would 100% agree it is over kill but I just don't want to keep upgrading my PC every few years.

Kinda just wanna do it as nice as possible and Leave it for as many years as possible, just need to clean it once in while.

Here's a cpu that's a lot easier to tame while giving you comparable performance to the i9. Replace the 140mm exhaust fan that's included with this case with the 140mm ARGB fan down below. There's an ARGB controller for this case. The RTX 4080 Ti Super 20GB is due for release in January. Keep your eyes peeled for the reviews of that card.
