I'm currently using an Intel i5 7600K with a GTX 1070, 16 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. I'm planning to upgrade to an i7 14700K, 32 GB DDR5, and a 2TB NVMe SSD. I mainly play games like Tekken 8, Marathon, and I'm considering Resident Evil Requiem. I want a GPU that handles 2K resolution with a stable 60+ fps, given that my monitor refresh rate is 60Hz. I'd also like to know if I should look into AMD as an option, even though I have mixed feelings about Nvidia. Additionally, I run a few CPU-intensive programs like Houdini and Reason, so I want to ensure my CPU is capable.

You should consider either the 5060 Ti or the 5070 Ti; both have 16GB of memory and should perform well at 2K.
You might want to check out the AMD 9070 XT or the 9060 XT. Both could do well with your setup.
Honestly, the RTX 3080 should handle that resolution without any issues. It’s a powerful card for 2K gaming!
Just a heads up, a 60 Hz monitor in 2026 might limit your gaming experience. Just saying!
Yeah, I get that! But for games like Tekken 8, it's frame locked anyway, so it won't be a huge deal.
When you say 2K, are you really talking about standard 1080p, or 1440p, which is more like actual 2K? The right GPU depends on that.
Oh, sorry for the confusion! I mean 1440p.
If you're looking for something more current, the RTX 4070 would be a solid choice too!
But remember, Houdini tends to work better with Nvidia cards. Just something to think about!
