So I more or less just need a verification saying that what I'm getting isn't ridiculous in any sense and that I appropriately chose all my components for my use case. I'm not planing to overclock my system, I just want the max performance of WQHD gaming. The games I play are Ashes of the singularity, Dark souls, and DOOM. I mainly chose components to be better than what I currently own: I'm running a AMD A10 6800k along with 2x8GB of DDR3 ram and a 1050ti to run my graphics. This system serves me well, but is incredibly outdated. I made beginner mistakes with that build which I don't want to do again. Please let me know if there's any problems and please feel free to ask any questions that you may have for me! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post!

By 2K you mean 1440p? 2K is technically 2048×1080, a cinematic 1080p. Looks good, though could save with a 1070/1080 if just 60hz. Perhaps also an SSD if you dont already have one. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

I meant WQHD or 2560x1440. I do not currently have one but I plan to get https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16824236466 or an equivalent. As of right now I'm running on a 1920x1080 TV.

Sorry, I mean I'm getting a WQHD 144hHz monitor. A cenimatic 1080p is exactly what I want. I don't want or need 4k. I'd also like the the 1080ti so I can max out most settings in WQHD at 100Hz+.
