Hi all. Not the brightest with computer hardware so I appreciate any help you can give. I didn't mention it but I will start at 1080p as that is the monitor I have already but would like to upgrade to 1440p. I have no real wants other than being able to run my listed games smoothly and without bottlenecks. Also would really appreciate it if you all could show me some resources that would help me in building my PC (e.g. youtube channels, websites, etc.)
