Question Need advice about new PC for gaming, 1440p 144hz

[vPEACEv]

Hello!
In recent days I've start to look for parts for a new, beast PC - one fit for 1440p 144hz gaming and that will last for years.
With some help I came up with few ideas and I'm looking for opinions on it, what part would fit better and/or make it prettier to look at (let's be honest, at this budget, might as well make it look good).
Purpose of the setup is simple - 1440p, 144hz, 144 fps and over all the time with max settings (I'm willing to drop settings down in more competetive games, but I'd like to not compromise where I don't have to)

So what do you think? What would you change, which platform would you choose, what you'd do to make it look better?
I was looking at 3 different power supplies, that 1000W above, MSI MPG A850G 850W and Seasonic Vertex GX 1200W.
That Arctic Liquid is technically in ARGB version, but somehow partpicker has issues with that one, so I added non rgb one.
I have no idea what case would make it look nicer for the eye.As for how much more money I could pump into it - some, but another 250-400$ is max
All in all, if that's good I'm happy to buy it, just wondering about opinions of people that know their stuff

P.S and yes, I'm aware I don't really need 4090, but still

The ideal setup for the 13900K is a 420 AIO and a board with better VRM's than that Gigabyt board in your build which is going to drive up the cost. I would look at 32GB of RAM so that you get your desired timings, look for low latency RAM seeing how games benefit from low latency and look for RAM that offers AMD EXPO. If you want a year round light show then this case down below with the ARGB controller.

God the uni fans look cool in that case, damn
Thanks for the advice, is it fine if I find some stuff with same paremeters, just different brand with good reviews? I'm still a bit away from buying it, so I'll keep an eye out on stocks, but I'd rather do the purchase in my country and not bother with shipping costs etc

 

[Brian Boru]

my country

Welcome to the forum

What country are you in?
Any preferred online retailers to buy from there?

Poland
Propably proline.pl? I think i got everything from there for last 2 PCs.Tho they don't have that MSI power supply and WD nvmes, and maybe something else iirc, I checked that before going to work

Next in line maybe komputronik.pl and/or morele.net.

These somewhat keep the value of actual peripherals, most of other shops just skyrocket the price for no reason. like x-kom.That gigabyte 4090 is there more expensive by another 1.5k (in our currency)

If worst come to worst I can just order stuff from different shops by best prices, I just wish to avoid that, buy it all in one, so I can pay someone in checkout to build it, cause frick doing it by myself

 

[Slasken]

I'd go for 32GB of RAM and rather faster RAM

4090 is overkill for 1440p but hey, it sure can do it. You may not need to reduce settings for a good few years. My 7900xt can do it and its half the price.

Oh I'm well aware of that, but it's kinda the point to be overkill, I do not know when I'll be able to afford another new PC after this one, it has to last quite few years.So I don't really want to compromise, current 2080, as much as I like it, leaves a lot to be desired after 4 years.Granted it still can pull these 144 fps in some games, but not on max settings, and most of the time I'm running those on low-mediums.

That being said, I'm not neglecting going for 4080 option, it's 500$ save, simple as that.We'll see

 

[Colif]

if i had the money and wasn't sure if I would again, I would probably go nuts too.

As I said, not likely to need to reduce settings anytime soon.

So I've been lookin into parts on 2 sites - one doesn't have that MSI 1300W PSU, so thought about be quiet! listed left to right from most to least expensive

Dark Power 13 1300W / Dark Power PRO 12 1200W (both titanium)
OR Pure Power 12 M 1200W / Dark Power 13 1000W (both gold)

The other site has slight variation to the RAM, they are 6000Mhz, but CL30 (is 32GB fine if I'd like to try myself at streaming?), BUT they lack the Lancool 216 (could take that Meshify 2 from Fractal) and they only have Arctic cooler in non rgb version.
Not that is technically a problem, I could swap the fans for more eye candy and also fill the rest of the case with fans.Which also raises the question would I need extra accessories if I'd went with swapping all pre-installed + AIO fans for Lian Li Uni fans at later point ?

The site without Lancool 216 also offers BIOS updates for gpu and cpu, tests after building the setup (but for that I need OS in the cart, and cost of OS straight from Microsoft are yikes, while I could get license for much cheaper.So I also need to make up my mind about that - pay for building and doing bios's myself or paying for exta comfort and add cost of OS more expensive than other sites

Any of those psu's you listed will work fine as will 32GB of RAM ^^ ... make sure that whatever case you choose has decent airflow and will fit your AIO.
