what sort of budget do I need to run 1440p @120+fps for the next five years (artemis.camp)

I've had my current laptop (dell g5 15, 9th gen i7, 1660ti, 16gb RAM) for 6 years now, and its great for running every game aside from cp2077 at med-high graphics, 60fps smoothly. its on its on its way out though (mostly the issue is cp2077, brings it to its knees, 50fps on low at best)

either way, looking to build something that can do the same as this thing did but at 1440p 120+ fps. what sort of budget will I need for that?

tldr: how much would it cost to build a PC that can run 1440p 120+ fps high settings for the next 5 or so years. ty all :)

didn't say he needed a 4090 lol. no one needs a4 4090, it's ridiculous and way way overpriced card. the top end is never worth it. that 4090 well be matched by a 6070tii in like 4 years for like a 5th the price.

i said he needed closer to the top, more like a 4070, or a 3070 ti. 40 series is pretty not worth it. (only referencing nvidia because their naming scheme is easier to follow)

also, this is all speculative. just as i can't claim to KNOW what will be needed, neither can you. my prediction is that those specs well leave him struggling at low -medium on new games in 5 years. you can't claim to know that the hardware will be fine that long any more than i can claim that it won't. it's just a prediction and that's the best anyone can offer.

this is a very volatile and uncertain time in the future of pc hardware. my real advice is not to try that hard to predict 5 years from now.

I literally suggested a 3070ti or 3080 though? Somewhere in this thread, I could have sworn.
