I’ve recently spent considerable time reviewing online discussions and haven't located an updated version. I’m aiming to assemble a gaming PC with a budget of $1,000-$2,000, targeting 1440p resolution. I require a new monitor or a completely revamped system, excluding my mouse and keyboard. My primary game is Escape From Tarkov, but I also want to use it for general gaming purposes. I plan to make the purchase shortly. I desire a powerful PC capable of high frame rates and excellent performance. Ideally, I’d prefer to remain within the lower end of the budget, though I'd rather invest more to avoid future disappointment. It is possible that I will utilize a WiFi extender, which could influence my component selections. Any guidance would be incredibly helpful.

Edit: Primarily, I am seeking a 2-monitor configuration for non-gaming activities; I’ll likely only use one monitor for gaming.
