1440p setup

[Jack_SV]

I'm trying to build a 1440p 60+ FPS gaming setup, but I can't really get my head around some components. Also, I was looking for a 1440p monitor suggestion

Welcome to the forum.

 

We need a bit more info: Where are you from? What is your total budget for the PC and Monitor? Do you need anything else (keyboard, mouse?)? What games are you going to play? Anything you are doing with this machine besides gaming (video editing, photo editing, streaming?)?

Was thinking 1.5k-2k for the pc and 300-400 for the monitor. Already got peripherals, and was hoping to play games like COD, Apex, RDR2 and so on. I don't really have a side job, because I already had e a nice workstation, but some light video editing could be done. Btw, I'm from Europe

Here's a list for a great system (I used German vendors as you didn't specify a country). If your focus is gaming you could even get a B450 motherboard and save yourself a good chunk of money without sacrificing performance. I included a CPU cooler because of your budget, but you could also just use the one that comes with the CPU - it's decent and even allows some light overclocking.

Edit: I'm very surprised by the price for the 2080 Super and I suspect that that's an error on by PCPP or Amazon. You should expect prices around 700-800€ for a 2080S

I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to the best monitors, differences in panels etc. so I don't feel comfortable in recommending something right now. I'm sure someone can and will give you a great recommendation on that soon, though!
