Strong CPU and GPU.

Well first is better gpu like 1080 ti paired with a good cpu such as 7700k,8600k or 8700k.

The rest i am sure u already knew like 16GB of ram although 8GB is good enough and Good motherboard,etc

And since u are going to start with a new build dont cheap out on the PSU.

Just lower the settings in games and you will easily hit 120+ FPS on 1440p.

 

You should be fine at Medium/High in most games with that card.

 

Or just upgrade your card if you want play at High/Ultra.

Take it from someone who owned a 1600X overclocked to 4.0 GHz, he's gunna want an Intel chip if he wants high refresh gaming. The only games I have that worked at those framerates on Ryzen were Doom and Overwatch. Everything else pretty heavily favored Intel's higher clock speeds.
