I have wanted a good gaming pc for a long time. I have always played on console. I play fps games like Overwatch. For me high fps is the most important thing. So I would want someone to approve my build, before I go and spend all my money. Also I would want a good keyboard with cherry mx red-switches. Is the monitor good for my needs? I need a good 144hz monitor that doesn't break the bank. Is there anything that should be chanced? Do I need more parts? I can go a little bit over my 1300€ budget, because I'm planning to buy all the parts on black friday. Any help is much appreciated. You can really make my day, if you help me! Thanks in advance!

If you stream all your games, it's one thing, but for non streaming gaming, Intel is going to give you higher and more consistent FPS than AMD. And if you play all games, including the more demanding current ones, you're definitely going to need a more powerful GPU if you're expecting 144 FPS with that 144Hz display.

The high refresh rate displays are more for the esports titles that can easily hit high frame rates. For most games 144Hz doesn't apply.

Thanks for your comment. Overwatch is an esports title that on low settings can most likely get 140fps. Not planning to play any AAA titles and if I do play AAA-games then it's not a big deal to play under 100fps. I play competitive games and I don't stream anything. I did a bit of research and found that Ryzen 5 beats Intel i5 in the gaming category. Is GTX 1070ti a good choice? Beacause what I have heard is that 1080s are an overkill. Anyway thank you very much for helping me it will be my first pc ever.
 

That's very vague and in most cases false. It helps to know exactly what CPU models you're comparing, but in General, R5 doesn't beat i5 in pure gaming. Streaming games, yes, but not just gaming.

A 1080 may be overkill for eports titles, but if you ever play games like Ghost Recon Wildlands, and any of the latest Far Cry or Just Cause titles, it is by no means overkill, even for 1080p60.

If a 1070 can play OW at 140ish FPS on Low settings, that may be one thing, but remember, going forward, there's nowhere down to go from Low, so you may want a bit of headroom for more robust esports titles down the road.
