No, that's a 1440p 165Hz display. You want a 3060 Ti/3070/6700 XT to run that display.
I see! Would I just need to update my build with the 3060ti and support bracket? Would I need to do anything else?

Is it same story for

MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD

3060Ti is still a dual slot card won't need a GPU bracket it isn't that big. I have one

And yes, that MSI display is also 1440p 165Hz. It's also amazing and would be my recommendation if it's in your budget.

FYI, I would get the bracket regardless. It's less than a tenner and it means that if you upgrade the GPU down the line you'll already have the bracket in place :)

Brilliant. Thanks again everyone - feel like it's a great but appropriate system, don't think I've gone totally overboard but got it hopefully just right

It's a high end 1440p machine mate I think you'll be very surprised at it's performance. I know the 3060Ti wildly exceeded my expectations when I first started pushing it's boundaries

Yes, very happy, sorry the bland comment was phone typo 😅 thank you again for iterating on it with me.

1st M.2 SSD Drive
500GB SAMSUNG 980 PRO M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 6900MB/R, 5000MB/W)
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB INTEL® 670p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 3500MB/sR | 2500MB/sW)

By default they'll install it on the fastest drive which is your 1st M2, and that's the one you want it on.
