Hey everyone! I just got my hands on a 200Hz monitor, but I currently don't have a PC to go with it. I'm looking for recommendations on what kind of PC components I should get. Ideally, I'm hoping to keep costs down while still being able to run most games smoothly. I realize this is a bit vague since I'm not super familiar with PC stuff, but any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah, it’s a bit vague! Knowing the monitor’s resolution and the types of games you’re interested in playing would help a lot. Different setups can maximize performance based on that info.
It really depends on the resolution and graphics settings you want. For 1080p gaming, a GPU like the 5070 or any basic AM5 CPU should work well, especially if you want to hit 200 FPS in more demanding games. If you're looking at 1440p, you might want to consider the 5080 or 5090 with compatible CPUs. Just keep in mind that hitting 200 FPS at higher resolutions is quite the challenge - realistically, you're looking at around 100-150 FPS with solid affordable hardware.
If you're aiming for 1440p resolution, a solid build would include a 9060xt GPU, an AMD 7600x or 7600f processor, and a Peerless Assassin CPU cooler. Grab a B650 motherboard, 32GB of CL30 6000MHz RAM, a 1TB SSD for storage, and a 750W 80+ Gold power supply. Any decent case like the NZXT Flow H5 or Corsair 3000D would work great. This setup will handle 1080p gaming with max settings easily and do well at 1440p on high settings for most games.
You'll want to think about the games you're planning to play and the monitor's resolution. That really influences what parts you'll need. Let us know, and we can help narrow it down!
If you're going for high frame rates, consider a 7800X3D or 9800X3D paired with at least 32GB of 6000 MT 30 CL RAM. Your GPU will depend on your resolution and budget, so plan accordingly!
