Which resolution do you plan to play at now, and for the life of this system?


I plan to play at 1080P for the foreseeable future, of which I know that system is overkill for 1080p gaming.

I like the option having a system that can run games in 4K should I elect to buy a 4k monitor one day.

1080P?

Get a 4070 or an AMD equivalent for the time being. A 4090 is overkill by a massive margin unless you want no image restructuring and path tracing. That or 300+ mhz frame rate. The 7700x will bottleneck you some.

The above specs will play 1080p until long after your motherboard stops being supported.

If you move to 4k, the calculus changes.

1440p is a massive jump from 1080 in looks alone. If you are blowing your pc budget on that system, you can downgrade RAM and GPU and get you a nice 1440 monitor, but still have longevity in your build.
