$900 monitor budget for 1440P IPS is excessive, it should be about a third that. For true low response times, you'd want OLED and can still achieve that at about half that price. For still < $900 you can double that monitor to be equivalent to dual 1440P side by side, and take that response time from 0.3 to 0.03: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8dYfrH/samsung-odyssey-oled-g91sd-490-5120-x-1440-144-hz-curved-monitor-ls49dg910snxza https://pcpartpicker.com/product/VryH99/msi-mpg-491cqpx-qd-oled-490-5120-x-1440-240-hz-curved-monitor-mpg-491cqpx-qd-oled The desk is able $1,400: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DKSWJ5F3 So that leaves us $3,700 for the rest of the PC, so maybe something like this as a starting point PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor $499.00 @ Amazon CPU Cooler ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro A-RGB 110 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler $279.82 @ MemoryC Motherboard Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ATX AM5 Motherboard $224.99 @ Amazon Memory Patriot Viper Elite 5 Ultra RGB 48 GB (2 x 24 GB) DDR5-6000 CL28 Memory $559.99 @ Newegg Storage Crucial T710 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 5.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive $286.97 @ Amazon Video Card Gigabyte GAMING OC GeForce RTX 5080 16 GB Video Card $1499.99 @ Amazon Power Supply Lian Li SX1200P 1200 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply $159.99 @ Amazon Total $3510.75
