Hello All!

I have been mulling over whether to build a new PC for about a year now, and, well, my GPU decided for me. This time, I was looking to downsize from a regular tower to about half the size of my current one (Phanteks P400a).

• New build or upgrade?
  • New build, but open to reusing parts from current PC
• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler
  • RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16
  • PSU: RM750 Gold
  • MB: MSI MPG X570 Gaming PRO Carbon WiFi Motherboard (AMD AM4, DDR4, PCIe 4.0, SATA 6Gb/s, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2, AX Wi-Fi 6, HDMI, ATX)
  • Monitor: LG 27GL83A-B 27 Inch Ultragear QHD IPS 1ms NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible
• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
  • Primarily gaming. Mainlt play single player games. Would like to handle games such as Jedi Survivor/Fallen Order, GTA V/VI, Ananta/Endfield, WWZ, Modded Minecraft (ex: All The Mods), FIFA/EAFC.
  • Apps: Solidworks, Matlab
  • Would like to run these games at 1440p 144FPS.
• Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)
  • USA, Microcenter nearby
• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
  • N/A
• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
  • 2-2.5K USD
• WiFi or wired connection?
  • Wired
• Size/noise constraints?
  • Looking for MATX but open to building in current case.
• Color/lighting preferences?
  • No preference
• Any other specific needs?
  • Would I be able to start with the GPU purchase and use it for my current setup as I gather the other parts? Could I stick with my current RAM and just buy another set of 16gb DDR4 instead of paying a premium for DDR5?
