So, with my new job I have a lot higher budget than I was thinking for a new pc. Instead of $3k I now have a $5k budget so I was playing on pcpartpicker and could use some advice if I did well enough or too much. My main game is helldivers 2 which apparently is CPU heavy and my current pc barely keeps up anymore. I do have a microcenter about 40-ish miles away that I've never been to and would like to check out. I really like the Hyte Y70 case but idk if I want the screen one or not so I could be persuaded either way. I could also use help on a new monitor, I was thinking an OLED wide/curved screen but idk about size or resolution.

Just realized I only have 1 upgrade left for GT cooldown but BH goes down to 50 seconds instead of 100 for GT. How much does a 2:1 BH:GT add opposed to staying 1:1?

Need a new level 5 character and I wanted to focus on the frightened condition. initially I was going to go conquest paladin but then found out about the undead warlock and thought that may be a fun route. I haven't played paladin or warlock enough to know the best mechanics so some help would be grateful.
