I'm building my first PC and aiming for good frame rates and resolution, specifically targeting 1440p at high FPS. I have a decent budget but want to avoid going all out on a top-tier setup like the 5090. I'm also aware that my monitor needs to support the resolution I'm looking for. Any suggestions for GPU combinations that would work well with the 9800X3D?

I think it really depends on what games you plan on playing! If they're less demanding FPS games like Valorant or CS2, even mid-range GPUs like a 7800XT or 6700XT could work. But for high-end titles, I'd really go for something like the 9070 XT or 5070 Ti to squeeze out every frame!
For a solid combo with the 9800X3D, I'd recommend the 5070 Ti or the 9070 XT—both are great for 1440p gaming and won't break the bank. The 5070 Ti is especially good if you're not focused on ray tracing. If you want the best performance for AAA games, then either option will work nicely.
Honestly, if you're looking for high FPS, you might want to consider something like the 5080 or even the 5090. Some users say the 9800X3D shines with those higher-end GPUs, but if you're on a budget, the 5070 Ti or a used 4080S will still give you a good experience.
If you’re trying to keep costs down, a 5070 will get you about 120-180 FPS at 1440p in most games right now. It might struggle with ray tracing settings, so if that’s important to you, then the 5080 is the way to go. In general, just grab the best GPU you can within your budget.
