Mostly gaming and running some programs like Fruity Loops as thus far. Overwatch GTA PUBG Rainbow 6 Siege Destiny 2 and some more first person shooters. 1980 x 1080. Nothing lower than high graphics (exceptions on alpha state games). 60 for lowest fps. Yes living in the U.S. Budget is around $500- $800
 
With your budget, I recommend the following two builds:

Both can achieve your goal, but second can do 1440p. If you doubt Ryzen gaming performance, check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX8BVbaCULs
