If anyone has a good list of components and monitor to put together, I'd appreciate it. 1440p gaming. SSD. Great video card. Multi-tasking. No video editing. Just gaming. Built to last and up gradable. Budget with monitor say $2000 - $2250.

It's over your budget but this list was really quick. Some areas you can save -
1600 over 1600x, same Chip but the x guarantees a better overclock.
Ram - you want highest clock speed you can get. I picked the RGB one but Ram is fairly expensive these days
M.2 - nice to have but you can live off a regular SSD
GPU/Monitor - 1080/Rx56 is what you want for 1440. The ti is probably overkill. G-sync does add about 200 dollars on top, but it's hard to buy a Rx56 these days at MSRP. It's up to you.
Case & cpu cooler is personal pref. I think if you get the 1600, it comes with an ok cooler that works if you don't overclock.
