Budget (including currency): 1700+|- USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Call of Duty, Battlefield, Forza, Elden Ring. Most programs are trading related which do run simultaneously Tradingview, Ninjatrader, Discord and some google chrome browsers. I would like to be able to record most of my trading through Camtasia 2025 possibly stream without it lagging my usage of the other programs

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

I have a G5 Odyssey Ultrawide. I would like the PC to be compatible with. My i5-8600k, 16GB DDR4 Ram, 1060 Super which has lasted me almost 9yrs + Looking at GPU prices seems like 5070 might satisfy my purposes without breaking my wallet. 32GB Ram  Which is a huge upgrade from current set up. I just want longetivity to be there. A big thing im currently going back and forth with right now is Intel and AMD. Hearings talks about AMD finally receiving the reputation it deserves but I can say through experience that Intel has lasted me for 9years.

As an example, you can get a very solid AMD setup for under $1700.  If you have a Microcenter near you, even cheaper...
