I'm looking to build a gaming PC with a budget of $2000. I'd like to stick mostly with Corsair components and go for Nvidia graphics. Can anyone take a look at my build and let me know if I'm getting good value for my money? Here's the list of parts I've picked: [PCPartPicker Link](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/3yCrXR)
