Hey everyone! I'm building a gaming PC and need your expert opinions on what the best GPU is, especially since I'm not too worried about the cost. I'm located in the western U.S. and mainly want to play shooter and story-driven games. Some titles on my radar include Ready or Not, Call of Duty, Baldur's Gate, Skyrim, Mouthwashing, Detroit: Become Human, The Last of Us, and Dead By Daylight. I aim for top-notch performance and want the GPU to last around 4-5 years with proper upkeep. I usually game for about 3-5 hours daily, sometimes more on weekends. If you need any further details, just let me know! Thank you!

If you don’t mind spending, the RTX 5090 is definitely the best choice right now. It's the fastest GPU on the market and can handle anything you throw at it without breaking a sweat. It's a bit overkill for most, but if you want the absolute best, go for it!
Heard good things about the RTX 6000 PRO too, though it’s mostly for professional use. If you’re strictly gaming, stick with the 5090. It really has no rivals right now!
I would suggest checking out both AMD and Nvidia options. But realistically? If you want the best, it’s gotta be the 5090.
There's no denying the 5090 is the top GPU. Just be ready for its price—they're pretty steep! If you're in it for the long haul though, it's worth it.
Totally agree, the RTX 5090 is your go-to if money isn't an issue! I picked one up at MSRP and I’m super happy with it. I run most games at 3440x1440 and it has no issues at all.
That’s awesome! Just make sure your PSU can handle it, those high-end GPUs need plenty of power!

Just a heads up though, you'll want to consider compatibility with other components in your build. It’s not just about the GPU!
