Hello to everyone. This will be my first post to this forum.
I am looking for some guidance on what parts to choose for my first build. Over the last few weeks I have browsed around the web looking at different posts on this forum others along with countless YouTube videos and decided to post my proposed list and get some feedback. Please know that I am a novice and would appreciate any positive feedback that helps me make the right choice in parts for my intended use which I will post below. Within the next 2 weeks I plan to start buying all the parts needed so this is not a fantasy build and your feedback will actually be used. I do plan do repost this on at least 1 or 2 other sites merely for exposure.
This PC will almost exclusively be used for wired online gaming. I realize that on some if not most games there is likely little difference between High & ultra-settings for graphics but I want to be wowed coming from using consoles my whole life.
Here is a rough percentage breakdown of what this machine will be used for:
Gaming (90%)
*Max/Ultra settings with a min frame rate of 60FPS* (if Possible)
· World of Tanks (50%)
· Rainbow Six Siege (30%)
· MMO & MMORPG (15%)
· Simulators like DCS (5%)
Multimedia (10%)
*I’m not an audiophile but I do own some nice headphones and would like decent sound reproduction for music. However, I do want good sound for FPS Games. I currently have an Astro Mixamp pro that I use with my XB1*
· Movies (50%)
· Music (50%)
For gaming, I would prefer to have a 1440p 27” or larger 21:9 144Hz Monitor. I like the idea of a 21:9 but looking at the pricing I’m not sure if I can afford that. Let me know in the comments. I really want a refresh rate above 60Hz at a minimum.
Lastly, the color scheme and visual ascetics don’t really matter much to me. Although, I would like a decent looking case if some of the components are RGB anyways. It would be nice to see them.
Budget: I cannot exceed $3000 after any rebates, taxes, or shipping if possible or my wife will kill me. I would prefer to be closer to $2500 but I am not going to skimp on anything if it can be helped. Please note that this must include everything I need for a working system including the mouse, Keyboard, Monitor, & Operating system so suggestion on peripherals is welcome. I don’t have a mouse or keyboard preference. The ones I picked seemed to be popular amongst gamers.
Looking forward to hearing your input.

Thanks a bunch Guys & Gals.
