What gpu do you think 1440p performance gets to a certain point where it no longer makes a difference even at ultra settings? I feel like a 9070xt or 5070 ti is probably the highest i would go before going 4k, because a 4090, 5080, or 5090 just seems like wasted gpu power at some point.

The 5080 may be better, but even then if you get say 300 fps in a game, what‘s really the difference between that and 250 fps?

I was just wondering this as a first post here, let me know where gpu upgrades become negligible for 1440p! Hanging in here with my 1070 on 1440p lol.

Hi, I hope this is the correct thread for these couple of questions! I’m not new to gaming but I am totally new to PC setups, I am planning to start building a setup and I don’t think I need anything too crazy or expensive just to start out. I plan to play Fortnite, The Sims 4, Minecraft, Roblox, and hopefully even do a little bit of school work on it. My budget as of right now would probably be about 800-1,000 but it’s okay if I go a little over but I would prefer not to haha. My questions are below!

1. Would it be smarter to just buy a PS5, a prebuilt PC, a mini PC, or a laptop to run these things and onto the monitor?

2. Regarding question 1, is there any other suggestions/which specific thing should I get?

3. What kind of monitor should I purchase?

4. What else would I need for a setup, maybe not now but long terms wise?

I would be really grateful for any help, please and thanks!!

I’m looking for a budget-friendly monitor for gaming. I mainly want to use it with my Xbox for now, but I’m hoping to eventually get a gaming PC too.

What specs should I be looking for, and what monitors would you recommend that won’t break the bank? 😊

Atualmente eu tenho um B450m Aorus com um Ryzen 5 4600G , e 16gb de ram XPG 3200MHZ.

Consigo pagar 2500-2700BRL$ tranquilo agora , ou 3300$ por uma placa boa ou ate 4k se for uma placa PICA PRA CARALHO por esse preço.

Eu estou pensando em pegar uma GPU parruda agora que estou com mais grana sobrando, e ir aos poucos upando a placa mae e gpu futuramente , porem nao quero me preocupar com GPU por alguns anos. Vocês me indicariam fazer oque nesse caso? eu consigo pagar

Wanting to buy a new prebuilt gaming PC. My budget is between $1000-$1500. My PC now can't handle WoW, and other games. The screen blacks out from time to time, and the Lag is crazy. I've had this PC for 11 years. It's an NZXT streaming PC. Which ones do you recommend in 2026? I just want to casually game with my friends, since I'm going into nursing school, and want to run some ranked arenas from time to time.
