Looks like a solid setup for 1440p gaming; the Ryzen 9 9950X and RTX 5080 should handle most titles smoothly.
I'm curious why you chose the 32 GB RAM kit; most games at 1440p don't need that much, and it might be overkill for your intended use. Could you share the reasoning behind this choice?
@tom_pcb I get the appeal of extra headroom, but I'm curious how you expect to use the 32 GB RAM since most 1440p games don't max it out. Is there a specific workflow or future plan you're eyeing?
@ruben_pcb Thanks for asking! I went with 32 GB for future-proofing and potential streaming or content creation, so I have some extra headroom when needed.
@anna92 What streaming platform or content type are you mainly targeting, as it can influence the real-world benefit of the extra RAM?
