Hi looking to upgrade my nearly 9 year old PC

Post Body

Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Gaming, I would like to run all sorts of steam games for several years to come on this PC. My current one struggled a bit with BG3 and now Marvel Rivals, but has been holding strong. I also like to play MMO's like WoW and FFXIV and do large scale PVP on Max settings.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)

I would ideally like to run games on Max settings and have bought 240hz monitors, so the most I can get out of them please.

I currently am running

  • 2x Acer Nitro 27" WQHD 2560 x 1440 PC Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium | Up to 240Hz Refresh | Up to 0.5ms HDR350 | DCI-P3 90% | 1 x Display Port 1.4 & 2 x HDMI 2.1 | KG271U Xbmiipx

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

1500-1900 USD

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

United States

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.

I would like to get possible liquid cooling and/or a case that is good at preventing dust from entering.

I also find that the one usb 3.0 port I have tends to be very finicky. I know it was very new tech when I made the pc, but an upgrade would be me a ton.

NOTE: You do not have to follow this format, but please be sure to answer these questions. Please do not ask to simply be given a build. You are welcome to delete this section.
