Hey everyone! I'm planning a new PC build soon and could really use your advice. Currently, I have a dual monitor setup, both running at 1440p and 144Hz. My existing PC has an i7 9700k and an RX 5600 XT. Unfortunately, the motherboard is on the LGA 1151 socket, which limits upgrade options.
For my new build, I'm aiming for a mostly white aesthetic and I want to be able to game at 1440p with max settings at 240 Hz. Additionally, I'd like it to be future-proof, making sure the GPU won't hold me back for any upgrades later. I'm mostly into gaming (think Apex, League, Sekiro) but I'll also be doing some video editing and minor streaming.
I'm open to any suggestions and especially need feedback on my choice of cooling, PSU, and case. Here's a link to the part list: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sJJJWc](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sJJJWc) Thanks!

I think you're set for the future with your choices! Your build looks solid and should handle everything you've mentioned without a hitch. 240 Hz gaming at 1440p is definitely achievable with the right GPU, so just make sure to choose a powerful one that can keep up as newer games release. Awesome setup!
Thanks for the input! Do you think this combo is a bit overkill for my needs? Should I consider downgrading my CPU?
