About This Build
This is the build I'd hand to 90% of people who ask me 'what should I buy for 1440p?' The Radeon RX 7800 XT is the best price-to-performance card in this bracket — 16GB of VRAM means it ages gracefully and it trades blows with cards costing $150 more.
The Ryzen 5 7600 gets you onto AM5, so you have a clear upgrade path to a future X3D chip without a new board. 32GB DDR5 is the new baseline I recommend now that prices have come down.
No RGB tax, no overspending on a board the CPU doesn't need. Comes in just under $1200 and it'll do high-refresh 1440p for years.
