Hello!

So after doing some research I wanted to build a setup with around a 2000 budget, more or less. I came up with this list of parts and peripherals: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WGngNN . I come here seeking any advice, parts I should switch out, etc.

Some info:
This is going to be a browsing/gaming computer for games that aren't too intensive; overwatch, cs:go, rocket league, etc. But I do want to play games like Far Cry, The Witcher, Destiny 2 so I also want a better computer with a good upgrade path. I'd also like to play with high fps, smooth play, minimal lag/tearing.

I am not sure if I am going to be overclocking yet but I want that option and I think my parts can handle that.

This is my first time building a pc but I have friends who have done it before that are helping me with assembly but they can't hold my hand with preparation.

Thank you for any input!

P.S. I'm a newbie so one big question I have is what should I absolutely max out on now and what is easier to upgrade on down the line?

Ah, so shouldn't I get a g-sync monitor or are you saying that it won't even do much?

A g-sync monitor is good since you are buying an nvidia gpu but freesync only works with amd gpus. However g-sync monitors are pretty expensive( I own one myself) even though they are nice

Yeah I think I'll do that, do you have any reccomandations on that? Also, is my gpu good?

Lemme take this straight:
AMD Freesync- AMD GPUs ONLY!
NVIDIA G-Sync- NVIDIA GPUs ONLY!
You were gonna buy a freesync monitor but instead I dropped freesync since it wont reduce stuttering as your gpu is unsupported by freesync.

No yeah but I'm asking if you have a good monitor with g-sync recommendation.

I wouldn't touch that liquid cooler with a 10 foot pole - there's far better air coolers you can get on the market. Anything from Noctua, Phanteks or Cryorig will be better than that, and you don't need the thermal compound. If you want to do a liquid cooler, the Cryorig A80 or Corsair H110i are better purchases than that.
