Performance Pick

1440p ultra at high refresh as the everyday case, with comfortable 4K headroom for the current title stack. The bridge to no-compromise gaming for serious players. Compatibility partial: 5 of 28 hardware checks ran (4 passed, 1 warned). 23 skipped pending precision spec data — verify physical fit and PSU headroom independently. 12V-2x6 not confirmed on this PSU — verify the connector before purchase. Power headroom not computed for this build — verify the PSU rating against the GPU's rated TGP before purchase. The compat engine's psu_headroom check returns skipped when wattage data is missing on either part; operator review surfaces these in the admin audit page. Retailer split: 1 retailer. Saves around $88 versus the tier average — post-promo number, not list-vs-MSRP fiction. Buy ordering is lowest in-stock price first; no commission factor, no sponsored placement, no retargeting pixel.

Built for 1440p · 144Hz target · FPS estimator ships in v1.1.
