Do I need a 5070+ or 9070+ for my monitor?

I have a 49in ultrawide OLED monitor that has a resolution of 5120×1440.

I want to build my first PC but with my research, it looks like I need a 5070/9070 or better and building around it runs anywhere from $1800-$2000 which is way out my budget…

Micro center carries this PowerSpec G531 Gaming PC for $1400 which seems like a really good price for a prebuilt with a 5070.

The games I would play are COD, Madden, Forza, and GTA 6 whenever it comes out for PC. I only have a PS5 right now and play GT7 with it but want a PC just to have one. Also I’d want to play at least 120fps.

Series 11 speaker stuck at extremely low volume, but Apple diagnosed it as a “punctured microphone mesh”

Diagnosis came back citing a “punctured microphone mesh” as the problem, not covered under warranty. A few things don’t add up to me:

1. The mic and speaker are on opposite sides of the case — different components, different locations. Not sure how a mic issue explains a speaker volume problem.

2. Never had any mic or speaker issue on my Series 7, which I wore daily for 4 years. This Series 11 developed the issue in 7 months.

3. The puncture in the photo they sent looks like a small, clean hole in the mesh (not torn/frayed) — no drop, scratch, or dent anywhere on the case.

Has anyone else had a Series 11 with speaker volume stuck low across everything (calls, alerts, unlock buzz)? Curious if this is a known issue with this model, or if I’m getting handed an unhelpful diagnosis that doesn’t match what’s actually wrong. Planning to push back with Apple but wanted to see if this is a pattern first.
