budget? buying from? resolution?

the goal of 200+ FPS in many games requires an RTX 2080 gpu. Does he have $700-$800 for just the gpu in his budget?

The 3800x actually performs almost exactly the same as the 3700x.

What resolution is his monitor? Makes a difference.

I have a 3800x and a 2070 Super and a 1440p 144hz monitor. I rarely hit 144 FPS in AAA games. CoDMW Warzone with graphics turned down just a bit is 100-120FPS.

The resolution of your monitor.

1080p is quite common but having recently switched to 1440p I'll never go back to 1080p.

With 1080p the cpu works a bit harder than it does at 1440p. The cpu is usually the bottleneck at 1080p whereas 1440p is a nice balance and relieves the load on the cpu a bit.
