I am working on my first build in about 10 years and wanted to get the opinions of the pc community. I have not been able to personally experience 4k pc gaming or 1440p, so I wanted to know if you all think that the benefits are worth the upgrade in price.
To give you an idea of my gaming habits, I am coming from a PS5 on a Samsung 65" Q90 and enjoy the exclusive games on PS5 (Horizon, Last of Us, God of War), but hate having to choose between frame rate and quality. I play mostly single player games and sometimes will step into games like Overwatch. Going forward, I would probably play things like Cyberpunk, Diablo IV, and the newer Bethesda games, as well as whatever might come to game pass.
You can also tell from my PC building past, I am not likely to upgrade my PC every few years but would rather have similar performance for longer (ie I don't want to turn down settings to medium in 3 years to keep getting the same results).
I know with 1440p I can push high frame rates and Ray Tracing, but with 4k, I would be more limited on the frames, or have to dial down some of the settings. The cost difference is also around $800 to upgrade from a 4080 to 4090 and to upgrade to a higher monitor (MSI Optix to Migabyte M32U or M28U).
I just want to make sure before I spend $3K plus, I am not going to be disappointed with my decision to go with either option. I want it to be better than my PS5, which I assume both will be. I appreciate the advice and more experienced opinions you guys can give.
