Cheap gaming overall use

Build Description
Light weight gamer build and daily use for general use build
I had a older build from 2016 (i7-5820k, GTX970, 16gb, H110i and some other goodies) It served me well. time for an upgrade!
I know this is not a piece of art but i love the case CORSAIR Carbide 330R Titanium Edition i got back then.
I kept the soundblaster Z, case, a few SSD's but ended up upgrading and replacing everything else.
I sold the old hardware including the old mouse and keyboard for $400 so my total build is like $600.
Smoking fast for my 144hz 32" at 1440p. If i had 4k... id go with more GPU but this thing ranks very well on benchmarks and games on full or very high settings on all games including RRD and COD;MW at over 60fps
