I'm planning a completely black gaming setup focused on 1440p gaming, including both the PC and the monitor. My total budget is about $2,500, and I'm buying the parts in Turkey, so local pricing and availability may affect the choices. I put together a parts list and would appreciate suggestions for improving the performance, value, or overall aesthetics.

You could potentially save money with a Core i5-14600, 32GB of DDR4 memory, a Radeon RX 9070 XT, and a less expensive OLED monitor while keeping similar gaming performance. That could leave more room in the budget for other upgrades or better aesthetics.

Isn’t LGA1700 effectively at the end of its upgrade path? I was considering AM5 because it should receive new processors for several more years. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D also seems stronger for gaming because of its 3D V-Cache and 96MB of L3 cache, compared with the 14600’s 24MB.
