Hey guys! Please take a look at my current build and let me know if there's anywhere I can make improvements.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/R6skhq


Budget: Loose budget, but would prefer to stay under $2000
Use: I've been playing a lot of PUBG recently and the 2011 build isn't cutting it. The goal is a quiet and efficient gaming machine with enough airflow to keep the temps low under load @1080p & 144hz
Purchase date: I'll be pulling the trigger within the next few months (sooner rather than later if I can find some good black Friday deals)
Preferred components?: Value > brand
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: I'll probably recycle an ASUS xonar dx https://tinyurl.com/yc9r2wh4
Do you plan on overclocking?: Mild overclocking
Need peripherals ?: Could use a new pair of headphones but otherwise nope!
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): USA

EDIT:
What are your preferences in case style? Solid build and good airflow
Are you planning to use multiple monitors? 1x 1080p 144hz for the games and 1x 1080p ips for the porn
Are you looking for upgrade-ability? Looking for longevity. My current build has last me 6+ years & I'd love to stretch the life of the next one. That said, if significant performance improvements are developed then I will likely upgrade again.
Do you have any preferred brands? Value > brand
Can you reuse any components from an older build? Will likely reuse my sound card and case unless someone can link a sexy case w/ excellent airflow & features for a reasonable price
Is there anything else you think we should know? Thank you for taking a look :love:

Yeah, good idea! There was a deal on the EVGA when I initially put it in the part list, but apparently it has expired
