Depending on the monitor, you may be able to downgrade the GPU (for example, a 1080p system will not need the 2070S). A maximum budget would also be helpful

Also, what case have you chosen as the configs are not showing anything chosen?

I still havent bought the monitor but I would like to get an QUHD, do you know any good in a budget price, likw no more than £300.
Because I've got one running 4k at 60hz full hd at 144hz but i haven't tried at 1440p

I wouldn't recommend either of those builds as they are.

What is the budget for the PC? Presuming a budget of £300 for the monitor (You'll struggle for 1440p@144hz at £300 but it is doable).
What games do you like to play? Is it purely for gaming or are you looking to stream/video edit/photoshop/etc.

The 3800X is likely huge overkill for your uses unless you plan on doing something more serious with the rig. The 3300X would likely fit nicely and open up more spec for the rest of the build (and potentially the monitor).

Out of curiosity, what is your monitor layout? Is it a 4k monitor you have or a TV? Are you looking to use all 3 monitors for varying reasons?

 

[Scott]

@Scott Would the 3300 be able to cope with the demands of 1440p gaming as well as streaming? Just wondering as I thought the 3700x was the ideal chip for streaming and gaming at the same time?

No... missed the streaming part

It would probably be fine, but over the next year or so the streaming requirements (I think) are going to shoot up significantly. The 3600 would be the absolute minimum for a gaming/streaming recommendation now..... with the 3700X/3800X preferred where the budget allows.

 

[Pierpaolo1994]

Is an average of 1.7 1.9 my budget, and yes i would like to game and stream cause, is anout an year i am streaming but on xbox with capture cars. Now I want to switch to pc stream and gaming to start with double monitor, as I do for passion, likely i would spend that amount of money.
I build up this set up which it was fair as price.

 

[Pierpaolo1994]

My big struggle is the monitor more than everything, the one where I will game obviously.
There are so many and at different price.
So I would lime to narrow a bit and find somenthing that will match with my pc setup but without paying somenthing crazy.
