Hi.

I was hoping to get some help with this build. I already have a GTX 3090ti which I want to upgrade to a 4090 as soon as I can.

Any feedback is welcome.

Hi,

I have two monitors:

Samsung LC27RG50FQUXEN 27" RG50 Curved Gaming Monitor - 240Hz​


I use only one when gaming at 1920 x 1080 240Hz

Uses: Just gaming.

Max budget: £2800

Please let me know if you require more information.

Thanks

The screen is going to hugely bottleneck any build at this budget. 1080p is a really poor resolution and only really suitable for extreme low budgets.

Do you already have those screens? It's also odd that you have 2 240Hz monitors when the second would never be used above 60Hz? That title appears to be copied from Amazon, if you don't already have them, please don't buy them, they're far too big for 1080p anyway and would be an incredibly poor experience.

I hope you are a really, really good gamer. As in, genuinely top-level. Because otherwise spending this kind of money and putting 3090 Tis and 4090s with a 1080p display feels kind of a waste to me. Actually that's an understatement: a massive waste.

Even at competitive though, you'd never have a 27" 1080 panel, and you wouldn't settle for 240Hz with a 3090ti, you'd have a 360Hz.

It just doesn't make any sense at all.

I only play the FPS games on that re1080p
I do however play non-competitive games where I want to push the graphics up.

I think this is misconceived and, unless you are one of the best gamers in the world, a significant waste of your money.

However, here's the system I'd suggest for you to put those graphics cards in:

Case
CORSAIR OBSIDIAN SERIES™ 1000D FULL TOWER CASE I don't like this case, but if it's what you want
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core CPU (4.2GHz-5.0GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5) The best gaming CPU there is: actually better in most scenarios than the 7950X3D
Motherboard
ASUS® ROG STRIX X670E-A GAMING WIFI (AM5, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 6E) Overkill, but great
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 6000MHz (2 x 16GB)
Graphics Card
NONE, I ALREADY HAVE A GRAPHICS CARD
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB SOLIDIGM P44 PRO GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 7000MB/sR, 6500MB/sW) Super-fast boot drive
1st M.2 SSD Drive
2TB SOLIDIGM P44 PRO GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 7000MB/sR, 6500MB/sW) Superb (overkill) game drive
Power Supply
CORSAIR 1200W RMx SHIFT SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS GOLD, ULTRA QUIET Total overkill, but at your budget this is what I'd want
Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead, 1.0mm Core)
Processor Cooling
CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD XT RGB CPU Cooler Ridiculous overkill for the 7800X3D, but pretty
Thermal Paste
STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING
Extra Case Fans
8 x Corsair AF120 RGB ELITE PWM Fan + 2 x Controller Kit - FRONT FANS (1000D) Stupid overkill, but matches that case pretty well
Sound Card
ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Network Card
ONBOARD 2.5Gbe LAN PORT
USB/Thunderbolt Options
MIN. 2 x USB 3.0 & 2 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL + MIN. 2 FRONT PORTS

I think this is the misconception, higher FPS does nothing for graphics quality whatsoever. All it does is improve reaction times IF you're physically and visually capable of predicting reactions in that way which 99% of humans can't over 120Hz. 1080p looks awful, weather at 144Hz or 500Hz, doesn't make any difference.

Increasing resolution improves graphical quality.

You're going for very poor graphics simply increasing reaction time marginally, talking a few milli-seconds, but it's going to look exactly the same on any 1080p screen above 120Hz, there will be no visual difference.

The fact you've been playing on a 240Hz 27" 1080p screen, the 27" will have completely negated the high refresh, it wouldn't have been any different to playing on a 1080p 100Hz monitor quite frankly as at 27" the DPI is too poor, so any sharpness is destroyed by the larger pixels.

So to date, you haven't experience high refresh rate in all honesty. Going up to a ROG Swift Pro PG248QP is completely insane as you haven't exercised your reaction times even to 144Hz yet.

Also, even at 240Hz 1080p, it won't have pushed the 3090ti, so you've wasted a really good GPU in the lifetime of that build.

Really makes me sad with systems like this and people who buy the FPS hype. Such a waste of money and good systems.

A 1440p 240Hz would make FAR more sense than 1080p 540Hz.

Thanks for the feedback, indeed the 27" monitor wasn't my best choice
