Kinda going for a small powerhouse build here

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HNBhK7

Ive decided to get into pc gaming (great time to do so 🙄)

I currently have a 32 inch 4k monitor and a ps5. I plan on getting a 5k2k 39 inch monitor and putting it underneath the 32 inch after I get my pc. Problem being im really back and forth on certain things.

1. GPU. The rtx 5070 ti I feel is the smarter purchase as of right now but idk if it would be a smart pairing with the 5k2k monitor. Worry id get this monitor just for games to struggle on it. It has a 1080p mode but would like to actually take advantage of the monitors capabilities.

2. Building. My game plan for this would be buying parts 1 by 1. Allowing me to not have a giant burning hole in my wallet and space out the purchases. Only thing is I hear that prices are going to get higher and keep going. So I worry that certain parts are gonna be hard to purchase and not even worth the price when the time comes.

3. Prebuilt. I found a few prebuilds from andromeda insights who ive heard fairly good things about. They right now have a sale going on right now so it could be a good idea. Only thing is its still a lot to purchase all at once. Idk if I want to keep all the parts they have pre picked and may want to pick certain parts myself but the price goes up when you choose specific parts. I could possibly buy a prebuilt as they have it and upgrade it myself over time but feels like a waste of money and parts to do that. Tho I could take any parts I remove and give them to my girlfriend so she has a start for her own pc.

Would appreciate any advise and help I could get.

Ive also been hearing about geforce now but dont know about that.

Tldr:

1. Rtx 5070 ti vs Rtx 5080

2 + 3: Building over time and risking certain parts raising in price as I buy, Buying a prebuilt and spending all of that money at once, or buying a base prebuilt and upgrading it myself?

Im planning on getting a monitor and pc. I currently play on a ps5 and 4k 50 inch tv. Should I hold onto that 4k resolution? Or will the 1440p monitor be just good enough and be better for both? I play alot of single player stuff and would like those games to look the best they can. But I still play online from time to time and would like to take advantage of those high frames.

For the past few years I've played on a 50 inch 4k TV with a PS5. Now I'm considering changing things up. Im considering switching to a monitor and desk setup and eventually getting a decent not too expensive pc. I think im gonna do a 1440p Monitor (tho im open to 4k). Tho its lower in resolution ive heard that with it being a smaller screen it'll be hard to notice and allow for higher frames then a 4k monitor at the same price. I am also considering a curved/ wide monitor. Ive seen a good bit of monitors on Amazon and such but there's so many options and alot of brands im unfamiliar with. My Budget is $300 Max but probably more the $150-$250 Range.

TLDR. A 1440p Monitor, Possibly 4k. Good for both PS5 and PC Gaming. Open to curved/ wide monitors. $300 max.

Note: I also saw some monitors with a built in "Dual Mode". Where they do 4k and FHD. Sounds like the perfect middle ground im looking for but at the same time idk if 1080p is too far of a dip then I'd like. Thoughts?

I completed my batcave. Had everything to my liking. All the organizing and picking and choosing done. Then boom, game crashed, and a good chunk of my stuff . . . Gone. Tragic.
