I'm building a gaming PC and I'm considering pairing an RTX 3080 with an Ultra 5 245k for 1440p gaming. Does anyone think this setup is good, or do you have any better recommendations? I appreciate your help!

If you're looking purely for gaming performance, consider going for AM5. The 9600X is a great option and it's a bit cheaper yet slightly faster for gaming overall. The Ultra 5 245k is good, but it shines more in productivity tasks like rendering. Just my two cents!
Your setup should work fine for 1440p gaming! But if you're looking for a bit more performance, you might want to check out the 9800X3D and 5090. That combo could give you a noticeable boost in gaming.
Yeah, that would definitely be a 'bit' better!
It really depends on your budget and where you're located. Prices and availability can vary a lot depending on these factors, which can impact your final decision.
Gotcha, thanks for the heads up!
Thanks for the info! I'll think about that.
