Check if the plan works for 1080p at 144hz and streaming at 1080p 60fps, possibly up to 1440p 165Hz.

Discussing this because the plan A (A 9070xt instead) is quite costly, especially with the 1440p monitor (I still need to buy the cyberpower CP1500PFLCDA, do I like it or not).
Same as before, I'm trying to save money for a new build until next year, but I also want a Plan B if I can't save enough.
By the way, would you recommend any good budget ips 1080p monitors?

You might want to refresh our understanding of your goals, since not everyone will be reviewing your past activity to discover X, Y and Z.
Based on the title of your thread, if you're planning to stick with 1080p only, you don’t need to worry about a 7800X3D. You can manage with a 7600/7600X/7600X3D setup paired with a B650 chipset board and an 9060XT. If you aim for 1440p with maximum in-game detail, the same processors plus a 9070 or higher would work.
By the way, if you have any suggestions for a good budget 1080p monitor, feel free to share.
Budget is subjective.
It’s important to note that a system isn’t just about a processor and a separate GPU+monitor. That’s why we encourage users to provide details in their threads; this helps us better understand your needs and offers useful advice from the community.
Need help building a 1440p 165hz machine from 0
I am using this time the "How to ask for new build" guide in order to be in the same page and get the info clear.
Approximated Date of Purchase:
Very likely to be next year june or maybe very late of this year if I got luckily in my job, worst case scenario, new pc until late 2027.
Budget Range:
Yeah this gonna be a tricky one, I plan to save around 42,000mxm or 2,500 USD dollars, theres a chance I change mind I go for 47,000 mxm, but I see it hard
System Usage:
Mainly for gaming and streaming, idk about if put this in this thread, but I am using dual boot, windows 11 and Bazzite, Linux is my main system
Are you buying a monitor?
This one is kinda hard to answer, yes, but heres the thing, right now I am limited myself with 42,000mxm, so my plan is to get a Samsung 24 S32GF (2,000 mxm) so that in late or 2028 I can upgrade to a MSI Mag 274QF (5,600 mxm). Still, theres a posibility I can get the MSI if I can get over 47,000mxm
Preferred Websites:
Cyberpuerta and Amazon
Location:
Mexico lol
Another coments:
I am skiping the rest because my current system is a Gigabyte G5 3060, the cpu is having me a lot of troubles since is kinda slow. So I decided that I need to get a new PC (In the worst time possible)
So, the current idea of the build goes something like this
Ryzen 7800x3D (8889 mxm = 516USD)
Gigabyte B840M Eagle Wifi 6 (2239mxm = 130.01USD) (I have some doubts in this one, it can handle the 7800x3d?)
Saphire RX 9070 xt (13,519mxm = 785.03USD)
Fury Beast 8GB C40 5600mhz (2669 mxm = 155USD)
Thermal Take V150 (I make sure to see if it can fit the rx 9070xt) (Around 100 usd the case)
Seasonic Core GX ATX 31.80 plus gold (2049 mxm = 177 USD)
Cyberpower CP1500PFCLCDA (6529 mxm = 379USD) (Since I live in the third world this is the main reason I am struggling building a budget, I need extra protection to make sure if the power goes out I can turn off my pc safely)
Monitor, so the plan A is the MSI Mag 346CQ (5216 mxm = 302 dollars), but for the moment I am going to get a cheap Samsung Monitor at 1080 IPS at 120 hz or less (Like 100 dollars or less)
Some aditional notes; can the 9070 be good too for 1440p? The main goal is to build a decent pc that could last for a few years at 1440p 165hz at medium or high settings, I don't play competitive games like CS2 (I am a fighting game guy). Preferably at micro atx size, I like compact things.
So, what is the logic of getting an cheapo monitor first? My friend convince me that a 9070xt would be a better long term investment than going full 1080p and having to upgrade not only the monitor but the whole system again for 1440p
Why I am upgrading?
Mainly becuase my intel cpu is lagging behind a lot of games, like Forza Motorsport, Battlefiled 6, plus I want to be able to play Forza Horizon 6 (This is why I have dual boot). But the main reason is that I want to stream at 1080p 60 fps, even if my streaming shot lived crashes and burn at least I can end up with a good pc that could last around 6 to 5 years and would be more easy to upgrade and specially fix if anything goes wrong.
Also because I want to play at 1440p 165hz
I tried to follow the "How to ask for new build" guide, and I aplogize if this have become a spamming theme, I just want to make sure it is worth to save money for like 1 or 2 years. Thanks for everyone who responded to my question.
There are some concerns about this product, especially regarding its compatibility and performance. It might be better to consider upgrading the motherboard quality or choosing a more affordable processor option. The VRM design is strong enough to handle various processors, but it’s worth checking if you can opt for a B650 chipset instead of a B850. For better value, a 9800X3D with a B850 chipset would be more suitable.
The Fury Beast 8GB C40 5600mhz is not ideal for 2026 needs; you should aim for at least 32GB DDR5-6000MHz or a dual channel kit if you skip streaming. A DDR5-4800MHz option with 3D v-cache could work if budget allows, but it may not be sufficient for 8GB RAM.
The Thermal Take V150 has issues with high temperatures due to its design. The case price is around 100 USD. Be cautious about the heat generated inside your PC.
I tried to follow the "How to ask for a new build" guide and hope this isn’t turning into a spam topic. I just want to confirm if it’s worth spending money for a few years. Thanks for all the help.
Hey, I need to clarify that I initially thought it was a different question. I discovered a gigabyte B850M at 4069mxm, the Gamin X B850 wifi. For the B650 Chipset, the Auros Elite Ax ICE 3379 is an option to consider. You can decide what suits you best.
I can upgrade the RAM to Fury beast 16 GB at 6000mhz C30 for 7000 (mxm). The budget now falls around 43,000-44,000 mxm, which seems quite feasible.
I should also mention the cooler – a thermal right peerless assassin at 800 mxm would be ideal.
I need to make some final adjustments.
Regarding the case, what recommendations do you have? I’m thinking about spending about 130 dollars on a case with good airflow.
$130 is excessive for a case when you're on a limited budget. Generally, a mid-range tech case around $50-60 works well (options like 903 air base or fighter 500 are solid choices). If your main focus is recording, streaming, and multitasking, I’d recommend an 8c/16t CPU instead of a 6-core model—even without a 3D V-cache (like 7700x/9700x)—and you can also consider the Intel 245K route, though it may not be ideal for future upgrades.
In my view, if you're on a tight budget and gaming is your priority, I’d choose the Ryzen 7700/7700x or 9700x instead of the x3d CPU, and go for the 9070xt. Yes, the x3d chips are marginally better for gaming, but the 9700x should work fine with that card. I’ve had an i7 14700 paired with 32GB DDR4 and a 9070xt, and they perform well together at 1440p.
The prices are sure to shift, but I’d suggest something similar. I’m puzzled about the significant price difference between Mexico and the US, so a trip to the US might be worthwhile if you can save on parts. There’s a microcenter in Tustin, Southern California, offering a bundle of a CPU, motherboard, and RAM at a fair rate. They also carry a reasonably priced 9070 XT.
