Hey folks! I'm planning to upgrade my gaming rig and I need some recommendations. I'm on the lookout for the most budget-friendly CPU and GPU combo that can handle competitive AAA titles like Fortnite, CS2, and Marvel Rivals at 1440p with 144Hz. I'm also open to buying used components. Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated!

For 1440p gaming, I’m currently using a Radeon RX 9070 XT with a 9800 X3D and it’s been fantastic! If you want options, the 5070 Ti or even the 4080 are also great for ray tracing. For top-tier performance, consider going for a 4090 or 5080, but that's mainly for 4K gaming as it might be overkill for your needs.
If you're trying to save some cash, the 7800 X3D could be a solid choice. Also, wait a bit for graphics card prices to drop with the new generation; that way, you might snag a 70 series and future-proof your setup.
