"I got the 7800X3D instead of what you selected, as it will be MUCH, MUCH, MUCH MUCH MUCH better for the games you mentioned"
"For 1200$, living near a Micro Center, you can get quite a decent PC that can play every game in 1440p."
"**CPU** | [AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz 6-Core Processor](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/66C48d/amd-ryzen-5-7600x-47-ghz-6-core-processor-100-100000593wof) | $194.00 @ Amazon"
"MSFS loves 3D V-Cache so the 7800X3D is not overkill."
"This will do everything you need."
"This is the absolute best AMD build you're getting new for $500."
"6800xt and 7600 cpu"
"Ryzen 7600
Rx 7700xt
Great 1440p combo"
"Lemme give you a baseline that you can play around with: B650 Motherboard, 7800X3D, 32 GB DDR5, RX 7700 XT."
"For GPU, I would recommend the 6700XT or 7600XT (whatever is cheaper) unless you specifically want Nvidia features."

NVIDIA

"You'd be much better off with this $1850 gaming PC instead. It has the beastly RTX 4080 SUPER GPU."
"If you can afford an extra $5, you can fit a 4080 Super in there."
"4090 is a beast."
"...built a PC with all new parts that runs 1080p 60fps on most games."
"Yes, 2080 super is a superior card below 20k php price range."
"I would build this for 1440p, since you have such a high budget.
If you don't know anything about liquid cooling, don't get one. Air cooling "
"In this budget, you really want to upgrade to a GeForce 970."
"The last nvidia gpu supported on Windows XP is gtx 960."
"That 4070 is bad value, replace it with a 7800XT."
"I wouldn't buy the 1660 Super. Not for $220 anyway."

Intel

"Something like this should work great."
"Seems to be the best deal in Canada right now."
"Intel Core i7-14700KF 3.4 GHz 20-Core Processor."
"That CPU and GPU would be good for 1080p gaming at medium to high settings."
"7600x paired with 7800xt."
#4
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
4.5
(4)
"That's a great gaming build not just ok."
"7800x3d is a better gaming cpu, draws ~70w in gaming loads."
"7800x3D or 9800x3D if you want to wait, 7900xtx / 4080super 32gb ram is kind of the norm now adays for higher end builds."
"Prices in CAD for AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor."
#5
Nvidia
4.5
(4)
"This build will be more than enough for most games at 1440p"
"The best combo for gaming you can get is a 4090+7800X3D."
"I would look into Nvidia as they do play nicer with Adobe apps in general."
"If you want to do raytracing or 3D animation with Blender, I would go with the RTX 4070 Super."
#6
Scorptec
5.0
(3)
"I got a 4090 build from Scorptec two months ago for under $4k love it."
"I've had good experiences with scorptec, definitely recommend."
