I'm in the process of building a new micro ATX PC that's capable of handling 4K gaming. My budget is between $1,600 and $2,500. What components should I select to achieve good performance without breaking the bank?

For 4K gaming, I recommend putting about 40% of your budget into the graphics card. For example, with a $1,600 build, look for a GPU around $640, and for a $2,500 build, aim for around $1,000. You could consider a GPU like the Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9070 or if you're going all out, the PNY OC GeForce RTX 5080 would really maximize your performance.

That's solid advice! What would you suggest for a good cooler to pair with those GPUs?
