[Build Help] Will this build run most AAA games at 1440p 60fps?
Build Help/Ready:
What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.
My main use of this PC is for gaming, possibly some streaming as well(noting serious).
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)
I plan to play on 1440p on AAA games around 60fps+, possibly buying a 1440p 144hz monitor (the 144hz mainly for games like cs:go not trying to run 144hz on graphic heavy games).
What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?
$1500-$1800, I would like to keep it below $1900
In what country are you purchasing your parts?
United States

Possibly crossfire in the future and plan on OC the processor. Also any good 1440p monitor suggestions are welcome as well (whether it be 144hz or not, the monitor price does not affect the amount I am spending on my PC). Thanks everyone!
