I'm putting together a PC for my friend using some spare parts I picked up. I want to know if the combination of a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU and a GTX 1080 GPU will provide a solid performance for gaming at 1440p. What are your thoughts on this setup?

It's worth noting that you probably won't hit 144fps on high settings. Depending on the game, you might have a decent experience though, maybe around 60fps or lower with adjusted settings.
Yes, the GTX 1080 can still run many games at 1440p quite well, but don't expect top-notch performance in all titles. The Ryzen 5 2600 is also capable of handling games at various resolutions since the GPU primarily does the rendering work.
If your friend's okay with lower settings, then aiming for around 60fps is realistic. But for more demanding games, the combo might struggle since the GTX 1080 is getting a bit old now.
Typically, this setup won't be great for newer titles at full capacity unless we're talking about lighter games like League of Legends or Valorant.
Kinda sorta. This combo can handle certain games, but for anything more demanding, be prepared to lower your settings.
