Hey guys I need some suggestions for a new build.

 

I need a new PC since I'm not home weekdays and I want to keep my old build at home to play on the weekends.
I want a PC that is capable of running games at 1440p for the forseeable future and also watching movies/youtube. The budget is around 2k$ for the new parts.
I have a second monitor and a WD Black 2TB lying around, so that's the reason I didn't add more disk space. I can also get a Win10 license cheap from my workplace.
Is there anything outdated or something that I should change?
