I'm basically looking to build a PC that I can use to buy and play games that won't run well on my Steam Deck. Ideally I would be able to consistently hit at least 60 FPS with average to above-average graphics settings at 1440p, on most major releases coming out right now. I do play a lot of less intensive indies and retro games but would like to have the option to start getting more intensive releases with this PC. I've also toyed with trying out streaming with a Live2D model, but that's a fairly low priority. I figure I can always upgrade parts later if I decide to try that and find that this build isn't adequate for it.

As this is my first time trying to build my own PC, any tips or tweaks at all for this PCPP list would be greatly appreciated. In particular, I'd like to know if this CPU and video card are a solid and efficient combination without significant bottlenecking. I also found research into the MoBo and PSU to be a little daunting, so I feel less secure in those choices.

I did also originally start with a soft budget cap of $1600 which ballooned a bit as I did more research. $2000 is still doable for me and I don't mind paying more so I can build the machine I want, but any advice on shaving a bit of cost here and there would be great if that's possible.

This is my first post on this sub so I hope everything's all good here with etiquette, style, etc. Thanks! Part list below.
