Provide any additional details you wish below.
I have a spare 250GB Samsung SSD that I will be using and a Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4-2666 stick spare right now so will be using them also. In the future I will be upgrading to 16GB DDR4-3200.
Just wanting to check these components are decent enough for 60fps 1440p. When I do upgrade I will just get the one monitor maybe keeping one or both of the 1080p as a secondaries, though I will be gaming purely single screen.
