[SOLVED] Is my PC good enough for 4k or 1440p Gaming?

I'm going to build a new Gaming PC soon and I'm wondering if it can achieve at least above 60 fps in 4k and 1440p.
Here are some of the specs:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 12gb
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950x
RAM: 16gb
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X570-E
PSU: Evga Supernova P2
 
Solution
Definitely 1440p, north of 60fps actually, etching 100fps. 4k too, but will depend on game and settings. Don't need to use much antialiasing if at all in 1440p (27"), let alone 4k, so bit of an fps boost without it.

Make sure to enable xmp/docp for your ram in bios to further increase cpu performance.

When it's time to install Windows, have only the destination drive connected if you plan on having multiple drives. This just eliminates the possibility of Windows placing boot manager elsewhere. Problem can arise if boot manager is put on another drive and if that drive is removed for whatever reason Windows will fail to boot. Connect secondary drives once install finishes.

1440P for sure. With that said what is your budget and what country are you located? The reason I ask is that proposed build in the OP is older tech yet it's still expensive in most countries. There's better tech out there atm in regards to gaming.

True.

5800x3D could be on the cards, it performs better vs 59xx series.

Are you going water or air cooled? Personally i hate water, concerned about inevitable pump failures. Deepcool AK620 rivals Noctua D15 for fraction of the cost and does a good job cooling 5800x3D looking up experiences.

Case suggestion if interested. Having worked on a few of these is really nicely built, very easy to work with.

Is this just for gaming? The 5950X is a poor choice for gaming only.

The 3080 is more than capable of 1440p & 4K. I’m using a 3080 10gb with a 1440p 240Hz monitor and occasionally use a 4K 120Hz TV. Take COD MW2 as my latest example, I can run 1440p 200fps in multiplayer as long as I use a mixture of low/medium/high settings with performance DLSS and the game still looks surprisingly good. The 5950X would likely prevent you getting as high fps. I can also get 100fps in most games at 4K with high settings.

That said, I would not buy a 3080 today unless on a great deal. I would be looking at minimum of a 4070Ti.

what CPU do you recommend for a 4070ti?

13 gen i5 version of that build. Swap out the board, cpu and cooler with these. Use the Q-Flash Plus that comes with this board to update the bios before installing the cpu.
