Recommendations for gaming PC $2000 budget

Looking to finally splurge on a PC that will run everything I'd need and last me a good while, preferably upgradeable. Currently looking at the following build

https://www.microcenter.com/product/706649/G458\_Gaming\_PC;\_Intel\_Core\_Ultra\_7\_270K\_Plus\_32GHz\_Processor;\_NVIDIA\_GeForce\_RTX\_5070\_12GB\_GDDR7;\_32GB\_DDR5-6000\_RAM;\_2TB\_Solid\_State\_Drive;\_Microsoft?\_gl=1\*1j33vcb\*\_gcl\_au\*NjQwNTc3NTUwLjE3ODY2NDcyMTU.\*\_ga\*MTQ5MjAyMjYyNi4xNzg2NjQ3MjE2\*\_ga\_CSBPEX4VCV\*czE3ODY2NDcyMTUkbzEkZzEkdDE3ODY2NTIyMDYkajU1JGwxJGg5MzIxMjQ5ODQ.

I'm looking for a minimum of 32gb of ram and a quality graphics card that won't fall off in performance within the next few years. I'd prefer 2tb of storage for college and gaming simultaneously. Some links of specific pre-builds or sales would be greatly appreciated. Optimally would love to spend between 1500-1800 but will go up to 2000 if the difference in performance is worthwhile. Thanks in advance!
