I'm thrilled that my friend is finally getting into PC building, and I'm helping her put together the parts list! However, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I have to include a monitor in our budget of around 2400€ maximum. I'm wondering if it's worth downgrading from a 5070Ti to a 5070 just to get an OLED monitor instead of settling for an IPS panel. I mean, while many people go for the powerful GPU, a great monitor can offer an awesome visual experience for years to come, but they can be pricey!
My friend primarily plays games like League of Legends and enjoys single-player titles like God of War and Horizon. We're aiming for 1440p resolution to maximize performance without too much hassle tinkering with the settings. What do you think? Should I focus on getting the better OLED monitor or the stronger GPU?

For most users, prioritizing a better monitor is a smart move. The vibrant colors and improved visuals of an OLED can drastically enhance the gaming experience, especially for the games your friend plays. Since she's not into fast-paced competitive shooters, having those extra FPS might not really matter as much. The graphics will be more enjoyable with an OLED!
Exactly! Plus, many players wouldn’t even notice the FPS difference in casual games. A beautiful monitor will be appreciated for years to come.
