I'm planning to build my first PC after gaming on PS4 and Xbox for several years, and I need some help! My budget is $1100, and I want a build that can handle competitive games at 240 FPS smoothly at 1440p, especially Rocket League. For AAA titles, I'm hoping for 60-90 FPS on high to ultra settings, again at 1440p. Recording gameplay in high quality (1440p at 144hz or better) is really important to me since I like to save my best moments. I absolutely need stable performance without FPS drops. If you think I can reach my goals with this budget, or if there's a way to get close without exceeding it, please let me know! I also want to keep $330 for a monitor, so if you have a recommendation for that, I would appreciate it!

You can check out this PC build: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gt7KRV](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gt7KRV). It comes in at $1100 and includes a $200 27-inch 1440p monitor. It should be able to fulfill most of your requirements like high FPS in competitive games and decent settings for AAA games. Good luck!
Honestly, hitting all those specs for $1100 is going to be tough. I think you might need to bump your budget up to around $1300-$1500 for a setup that can give you what you want, especially for recording and smooth gameplay without drops. What do you think your max budget could be if you really want to prioritize performance?
Aiming for around $1300 is a safer bet if you're serious about those specs!
What should I aim for in terms of budget to get close to what I'm asking for?
