I run an i5 12600k with a 3080 and it's more than enough to handle current games. Just don't go ape stuff on a PC build. I also run 2 NVMe ssd's and it never sees the 7000mb/sec read. More like 4800.
It's more of bragging rights than anything and a waste of money. I use a Samsung g5 monitor and it caps out at 166fps for games like destiny 2 and other steam games. If your a die hard PC gamer and going to invest in some serious fps, the 4070ti would be best IMO. You will never see 4k at 200fps. Your PC will tell you that, but anything past 120, you will not notice since human eyes can only detect 30. Just trying to help you out. 3 monitors or go VR oculus/meta 3 is more than plenty.
Oh I appreciate all the info here… I do some video editing, occasionally, and other than that I’ll be playing flight sim and some racing video games… I did go with three monitors, listed above, and I had already ordered the computer… Yeah I kinda went off the deep end, though I’ve almost always been like that… I did opt for the four years of in home complete care so if there are issues with the motherboard or any other aspect, they can come fix it… I’ve always had great luck with Dell so time will tell…

Thanks for chiming in…
