What CPU and GPU should I choose for my new build?

-

I’m about to sell my old system to a friend after saving up for a while and I’m ready to build a new one! I have roughly $2,000 to $3,000 to spend, but I’m not sure which CPU and GPU combo would give me the best performance for my budget. Any recommendations?

Another solid option could be the 7800X3D combined with a 7800XT. This combo will still deliver an awesome performance, especially for 1440p gaming, and you might save a bit compared to the higher-end parts.

I was also eyeing the new 9070XT or XTX; could be a great choice too!

With your budget, I’d suggest going for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with an RTX 5080. That’s a killer setup for high-end gaming! I even threw together a sample build for you if you want to check it out here: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gjC8C8](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gjC8C8). Just keep in mind that this is just a starting point; feel free to tweak it!
