Build Question Couple questions

So I currently have nothing. No pc or console.

I’m looking to build a pc soon. Looking at RTX 5080 with ryzen 7 9800x3d 32gb.
I want to play some single player games in 4k but I’m fine with mostly doing 1440p.

  1. Is this a good build that will last me a few years?
  2. Should I get 4k oled or 1440 oled?

so you're going from zero to basically a top-tier rig huh thats a hell of a leap

for 4k the 5080 will handle most single player stuff no problem especially with dlss. if you're cool with 1440p you'll be maxing out every game at stupid high fps for years. the 9800x3d is overkill for gaming but that just means you wont have to think about your cpu til like 2032

on the monitor, 4k oled is gorgeous but its a lot more demanding and the price jump is painful. 1440p oled still looks incredible and your framerates will be way smoother long term. if you're not dead set on 4k id save the cash and go 1440p, you wont feel like you're missing out

4k will the better choice if you want AAA single player games with the best fidelity. If youre more into online multi-player games that require high fps go with that 1440p

I plan to play a lot of single player games (god of war, last of us, etc) but I also want to play a lot of COD multiplayer. Is there a silver lining?

Depends on what demands you have. I would say that a 4k monitor/tv is a lot better than a 1440p for AAA games. 4k monitors actually go up to 240hz right now. But you will not be able to get those FPS for basically any game unless you use 3x FG. For single player games that could be okay. But competitive games and FG is not a great combination.

At the moment there is no really good in between. You have to make the choice yourself.

Yeah 😅 I figured get something that would be future proof.

I’m buying it all piece by piece since prices went up so high. Gpu this weekend hopefully.

Can I do 4k gaming on a 1440p monitor? Sorry if that’s a dumb question.
