[SOLVED] Will this PC run games @1440p 144hz?

[shoshoni8921]

I play CS:GO and Siege most of the time, and a mix of other newer games such as Battlefield 5, Black Ops 4 and more. I’m planning on getting the Acer Predator XB271HU to run these games at 1440p, 144hz and high - ultra settings. Will it work?

Here’s the build

Go with a 2700x, and get a faster GPU. Gaming, especially at 1440p, the GPU matters quite a bit more.

@logainofhades

Thank you for your suggestion. I have always used Intel for the last 10 years and never had an issue with it, but I haven’t got a chance to use AMD. Do you think it is necessary for me to switch to AMD because, for example, it is more powerful, or are they both the same? If so, Intel is always my first choice.

Solid build, but I would go with a RTX 2080 and i9 9900K, but the 9700K will work fine also.

@jankerson

I would if I could, but just the two of those will already cost me $2000

That's understandable, you will be fine.
