CPU & Motherboard Advice for a first time, $2k build
I'm looking to build my first gaming PC, and I finally feel like I've researched enough to start buying parts, but I was hoping for some advice to see if what I'm looking to buy matches what I want to get out of my first PC. I think the most performance-demanding game I'm currently playing is Destiny 2, and I'd want my PC to be able to run it at 1440p and somewhere at or above 60 fps.
My main concern is whether or not the Intel Core i7 12700k, MSI MAG Z690, and a MSI Rx 6800 XT are solid starting points for building a PC that can consistently run 1440p on a game like D2. My budget is $2k USD and my build is currently just below that, but I'm not sure how to to tell if I'm getting the most bang for my buck, or if this is overkill for what I'm looking to get out of my PC.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
