Hello everyone, this is what I'm wanting to build as my first foray into PC gaming. I'm am looking for knowledgeable opinions on the matter from more experienced builders and enthusiasts. Feel free to criticize and nitpick that is why I am here. Thank you in advance.

What resolution you gaming at? 1080p or 1440p. 60Hz or 144Hz? This matters a lot.

As of right now 1080p though I do intend to upgrade as time permits. In regards to Hz I'm not familiar enough with what that topic means. What are the differences?
