What Would This PC Build Cost and Can It Handle 240 FPS?
Asked by
TechSavvyHero
I'm in the process of planning my next PC build, aiming for something that can consistently hit 240 FPS. Currently, I have a Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 4060, 32GB DDR4 RAM, and an A320M motherboard. I'm looking at an upgrade to a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, 32GB DDR5 6000MHz RAM, and a B650-E WiFi motherboard. I did some price checking, and found estimates around $1,600, but I know those aren't always spot on. Can anyone confirm if that setup will really deliver 240 FPS? If not, what would be a good build to aim for within my $2,000 to $4,000 budget? Also, is it worth investing in a new OLED 1080-1440p 240Hz monitor?

I've got a setup with a Ryzen 5800X and RTX 3070, and I’m pumping out 240 FPS in competitive games with 32GB DDR4 RAM on a 1440p OLED. Your current build might seem okay, but it’s pricey for the performance gain. If you're thinking long term, consider upgrading your motherboard, RAM, and CPU, but keep your GPU for now—it’s a strong component!

Instead of relying on estimates from tools like ChatGPT, I’d suggest checking out PCPartPicker. You’ll want to make sure to also factor in a CPU cooler, case, and power supply in your overall budget. As for running 240 FPS, it heavily depends on the game and settings. Look for benchmarks for the specific games you play to get a better idea.
BuildExpertA1: Good tip about PCPartPicker! It’s really helpful to have all the parts together in one place, and you can see if you're missing anything.
MonitorMaster88: And make sure you consider cooling solutions! It's an important part of maintaining performance.

Your expected cost of around $1,600 seems about right for that setup, but don’t forget to double-check the current pricing on PCPartPicker. More importantly, you could get a really solid build for 2k that really suits your needs!

What games are you aiming for? Performance will vary widely based on the game and the settings. For most new titles at 1440p, you're likely looking at around 100-120 FPS—smooth for working or casual play but not hitting 240 FPS unless you’re optimizing settings.

TechLover92: I’d say hold onto your GPU a bit longer. It can still handle quite a bit.
