It varies based on your preferences and budget. Generally, a 1440p monitor would be ideal if possible. The 2070 Super is capable of handling it. I keep a PSU upgrade guide in my signature for later use, though I don’t consider that PSU to be top-notch.

It depends on the specific configurations, but generally yes—Ryzen 5 3600 can handle a high-end RTX 2070 at 4K with 1080p settings.

This is because once you go higher than the 5700XT, the returns seriously diminish.

You can usually use higher wattage without wasting much power, and it will only consume what you need. A 1440p 144hz screen fits well in this budget. It's a solid choice.

The MSI B450-A PRO MAX focuses on performance and gaming features, while the MSI Tomahawk Max emphasizes a more versatile build with better value for general use.

LG appears to be a solid choice for a gaming monitor. The positive feedback on the LG 32GK650F-B 32-inch model suggests it delivers strong performance and quality, making it a reliable option for gamers.

Aesthetics mainly. Both offer identical VRM (CPU power delivery), so overclocking power performance is the same. There could be minor variations in port layout or other details, but overall they’re both solid builds. We picked the A-PRO since it’s more affordable while delivering comparable performance.

There’s only a small difference. One device has an additional x1 PCI port, while the other can handle RAID, which is mostly cosmetic.

Generally, focus on the product itself rather than the brand. Every brand produces both excellent and poor items. This particular panel appears to be a solid choice.
