Hey everyone! As I approach my 40s, I'm finally ready to upgrade my PC. I'm looking for a solid build that can handle CPU-intensive games like Lost Ark and other single-player AAA titles, all while running on a 1440p 144Hz monitor. I'm not interested in flashy designs or RGB lights—just pure performance. Here's what I'm considering for my new build, with prices attached. I would love your feedback on whether this setup is good value for gaming.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is an amazing choice for gaming. It's generally considered the top gaming CPU out there, especially for CPU-bound games like Lost Ark. You should check some benchmarks to see how it stacks up against other CPUs for gaming, but chances are you'll be really satisfied with this upgrade!
Couldn’t agree more! It's a beast of a CPU, but make sure you pair it with a good motherboard. Do you have any thoughts on whether to go with a B650, B850, or even an X870?
