Honestly, for the budget you're working with, you might be overpaying. There are some parts that seem a bit excessive given what you're trying to achieve and the price range.
For 2K gaming, consider if you really need that much RAM and if the GPU is the best option for the price. You might get better value elsewhere.
Yeah, this build should be pretty capable for 2K gaming! The Ryzen 5 9600X is a solid CPU, and paired with the Radeon RX 9070, you should get good performance in most modern games at that resolution.
I was looking for something future-proofing, hence the 32GB RAM. But it’s good to know I can save some cash in other areas!
