When evaluating this build for 1440p gaming at maximum settings, the components appear well-suited for handling demanding triple-A titles, while also accommodating programming needs. The inclusion of a 6950xt, sourced from a friend at a negotiable price around 30k, provides strong graphical performance. Although considering an upgrade to the 9070xt, initial benchmark reviews suggest the performance gain may not justify the change for my use case, which focuses on gaming and non-game development programming. Overall, this setup seems capable of delivering a high-quality 1440p experience.
What is your maximum budget for the system, OP?
How much does that CPU cost? If it’s close to the price of a 7800X3D, that would be a better option for gaming.
