This is a nice gaming PC but it is overpriced at $1,200. You could build a brand new computer for that price with a Ryzen 7 3700X and a 5700XT.Been nothing but console over the years and looking to jump into PC. Mainly play shooters like COD Modern Warfare.
Is this a good used build for about $1200?
Gtx 1080
Ryzen 7 2700x
240gb ssd
B350 motherboard
Corsair Vengence rgb ram 16gb 3200mhz
Any suggestions?
Would you go with the Rx5700 or pay more for the gtx 2600/2700?I think when you say servers are capped to 60, you might be talking about tick rate.
A high refresh rate monitor would still make your experience of the game smoother - movement, mouse cursor positioning etc.
If you are aiming to play competitive shooters, you'll often be playing on 1080p mostly low settings to maximise framerate, even allowing for framerate drops. If you're not being super competitive about it, enjoying higher settings and/or also different games, a 1440p 144hz monitor would be an excellent match for a ~$1200 system of the kind of above. There's a huge range of 1440p 144hz monitors to choose from, with some very affordable options and some very good quality options in the mid pricing range. More affordable than you might think anyway.

As long as it has adaptive sync (usually labelled freesync) of some kind
Thank you. This helps alotRX 5700 is better overall than a 2060 and on par with the 2060 Super and 2070 (non-super). The RX 5700 XT is better than any of those, and is a little behind the 2070 Super.
So depends on local pricing and how much you want to spend. Anything RX 5700 or better is a great option for 1440p gaming.
