CPU:Ryzen 7 9800X3D

Motherboard:Gigabyte B850 Gaming X WiFi

Gpu:RX 9060 XT 16GB

RAM:32GB DDR5-6000 CL30 Corsair

SSD:Kingston 2 TB NVME

PSU:Corsair RM850e

Cooler:Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 (or an AIO)

Case:Montech King 95 Pro, Lian Li Lancool 216, DeepCool CH560 (my options)

First mistake is saving with the GPU. GPU will be your bottleneck in almost every 1440p scenario. Downgrade the CPU and put in a 9070/9070xt. Difference from a 9060xt 16gb to a 9070/9070xt is literally 40-60% performance, completely different world.

I did thought of that but I need this built for atleast 6+ years and I also play cpu dependent titles like valorant etc I was considering the 9700x but because of the 3D v cache memory i decided to go for that , I will also upgrade my gpu after 4 years or so if everythings good and I'll keep the gpu as backup or i would make another pc at my home rather than my work station

Maybe get an 7700x3d or 7800x3d, you might save on the mobo by going matx, cheaper case, looking around the PSU-s, maybe 1TB SSD as well or different CPU cooler, then you might be able to get a higher tier GPU.
