Hey guys! I'm interested in building a PC soon to play games like PUBG, Rainbow Six, Arma 3, Overwatch, and other similar games. I want to play them at 1440p 144hz. I am linking my current part list, and it lacks a GPU because I plan on buying the RTX 2070 when it is released.

In the future, I plan on buying the:

 

Logitech G513 (Keyboard)

Logitech G403 (Mouse)

Sennheiser 598SR (Headphones)

Modmic 5 (Microphone)

 

and for cooling and lighting,

 

Corsair H150i PRO (360mm AIO, Front Mounted)

Corsair LL120 RGB 120mm Fans x4 (To replace the fans that come with the H150i Pro, and to put in the back as an exhaust)

Corsair LL140 RGB 140mm Fans x2 (Top Exhaust)

Corsair Commander Pro (Fan and LED Light Strip Hub)

Corsair RGB LED Lighting PRO (Light Strips)

Corsair Node Pro (Comes with Fans)

 

Edit: Premature Submition

Looks like a solid build to me, and I've never had any nasty issues with Logitech products so you should be fine (only issues I've had is one G502 dying after I plugged it in to an USB port I KNEW was bad on accident, and a G602 that had the USB receiver die, but they sent me an entire freaking new mouse after 5 minutes on the phone with support).

I also noticed you use the B450-F from Asus, do you like it? I'm considering it rather than the Prime Pro

Yep, I'm running an R7 2700X at stock with 0 problems so far. Apparently the VRMs can get a bit hot when overclocking but they're not horrible and I'm using the stock cooler (which blows down onto the mobo) so temps have been fine for me.

You're planning on spending like $400 on the cooler and RGB? Really? Changing that, along with dropping the MP500 SSD should allow for a 2080 instead of the 2070. 

The B450-F is much much worse than the Prime Pro. If you want a Strix, get the X470-F. 

For the parts list (you know you can add the CPU cooler and fans?), there are cheaper RAM kits at the same speeds, the MX500 is plenty good and costs a bit less, the G3 is really loud and has issues with its protections.

Planning on buying cooler and fans in the future, and maybe will tone it down a bit. Any reason I should go x470-f Strix vs the Prime Pro? I'm aware I can add those to the part list, but I just wanted to hold off because I'm not buying them anytime soon, and ok Ill switch PSU. Thank you!
