Additional Comments: Games that will be played mainly Final Fantasy XIV. Will play other games such as Destiny 2, League of Legends, Fortnite, and PUBG. Ultra Settings.

Looking for a PC that can be upgraded later to run these games in 1440p 144hz. I want to make this system future proof.

I will be doing some light video editing and encoding in this rig as well.
