New Gaming PC

[BK5360]

Budget (including currency): $2000-2500

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AAA games, Overwatch

Other details Looking for 1440p and at least 165Hz refresh and min 16GB GPU.  Also, trying to go for an all white build.

 

Had a different thread but have changed a few things so was easier to start another.  Will be a build for my daughter who is on her college Overwatch team.  She also plays Final Fantasy, The First Descendant and a couple of Assassin Creed's that I know of.  

 

EDIT:  Previous build was utilizing an i7-14700k and RTX 4070ti Super and a Z790 MB, everything else pretty much the same.  Would that be better suited vs below?

Solid list, only change I'd make is going for the 9800X3D for $3 more over the 7800X3D and purchasing Windows elsewhere. You can get legitimate Windows for a lot less than $120. If Samsung isn't make it or break it for you either you could snag like a Crucial Nvme and save some money on the strorage drive as well.

Ah, true on the CPU. 

SSD I already have and yes would probably get Windows direct.

Thanks,  previous build I was looking at an i7-14700k and a 4070ti super everything else pretty much the same.

 

Would this be better suited for what she will use it for?

That monitor has a higher refresh rate which is a plus for the games she plays.
