I purchased the Alienware 165HZ DWF model, it's currently selling for $650. It's fantastic, the HDR is jaw dropping. No regrets at all. https://www.amazon.com/Alienware-QD-OLED-Curved-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B0BP94J8VD?th=1 Previously had an Asus ROG Swift 27" IPS. I was unsure about going with the...

What budget are you working with?

Have had an LG OLED 65" TV for years and no issues with burn in. Burn in was a serious issue in the early days of OLED. Recently switched from an Asus ROG Swift 27" IPS to an Alienware 34" QD-OLED wide s screen. Should have done this sooner. Amazing difference in picture quality and improved...

I have this monitor, it is excellent! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09VQ48X5Q?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

RTings.com is one of the best sites for reviews of monitors and TV's. The Odyssey G6 is a solid monitor for gaming. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-oled-g6-g60sd-s27dg60 The only knock is that it's not a very bright screen overall. If you are using it in a dark room it...

Your PC can handle gaming at 1440P or 4K just fine. OLED's offer the best possible viewing experience but the screens are glossy and can be subject to glare. Some models are better than others. I recently purchased the Alienware QD-OLED 34" widescreen and wish I would have done it sooner. Yes...

Go OLED if possible. Burn-in is not an issue as it was. Many games have very good HDR effects and the right OLED will let games shine.

I had this same decision the last few weeks. Last week the Micro Center near me had restocked 25 PNY 5080's at $1,100 (non-RGB) and they sold out within a couple of days. Next cheapest option was the RGB model for $200 more. They have a few Asus and Gigabyte but they are really quite pricey...

If you want to squeeze a few more years out of the AM4 a 5700x3d or 5800x3d are viable options vs a new build. I'm still running a 5800x3d and have no issues with any game title. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yL9ZGzlBJU

The older DW model that has the G-Sync chip. They sell now for $699 as they are clearing out the inventory. Got an open box from Amazon for $550. Going from a 27" Asus ROSG Swift IPS to this 34" OLED has been one of the greatest gaming improvements I've made. It's was somewhat similar when...

I picked up an Alienware 2k QD-OLED 21:9 and the image quality is fantastic. The HDR is outstanding.

My PNY 4070ti has run with zero issues. Bought this when originally released in 2023. Had not bought a PNY product since old ATI days. Runs a 34" Alienware QD-OLED 21:9 at 1440p with ease. Great card! Would recommend.

If your psu is out of warranty thena good insurance policy is a new one for that gpu investment.

Depends on your monitor as well.

All depends on what you use the PC for, assuming gaming since you have the x3d. What monitor are you using?
