Advice on a new build after being out of the game for a while

It's been about 7 years since I built a PC and I haven't kept up well with all the changes going on.

I'm looking to make a PC for 1440p 144Hz for gaming with a somewhat flexible $2000 budget. Games include some FPS, horde shooters, and modded open world RPGs.
