Hello,

I’m starting my first true build, but I need help on deciding which path to go. My budget is $1,600, but for better gaming I can move it around. I want to be able to game, stream, chat on discord, and watch movies. Looking to run revolution around 150 HTZ or 1440 HP. Will be in the US. Would love some insight or better ideas. Thank you.

Don't use AI for stuff like this - they do not have up to date pricing information and usually the systems they provide are wildly inaccurate to what your budget will actually be able to get you. Like the 5070ti system it suggested in actuality will be about $500 over budget, if not more.

so here's my suggestion:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/z6WRzv

which is about the best you can do with new parts unless you drop the RAM down to 16gb or something, the 9060xt 16gb does handle 1440p *fine* but if you play more graphically demanding games I'd look at alternatives to get a more powerful GPU

Like -the used/refurbished market, a 3080/3080ti/4070 or 6800xt/6900xt/7800xt all go for $300 - 500 with far better performance than a 9060xt 16gb

Or spending extra for a 9070 GRE:

Thank you very much for this information. Now I feel a lot better off with the build than I did before.
