Looks like a solid plan for 1440p gaming, especially with the RTX 5050 and that Kingston RAM should handle most games well. Excited to see how it comes together!
Great choice with the RTX 5050 for 1440p; it should deliver smooth performance, and the 32 GB of DDR5 RAM will provide ample headroom for multitasking and future games.
Make sure to update the BIOS before installing the new CPU for optimal performance and compatibility.
I'm curious about the choice of the Seagate SkyHawk drive for this build—how do you think it'll handle gaming workloads compared to a typical consumer SSD?
