I could say that one of the reasons i acquired this CPU is to emulate console-exclusive games, like, Red Dead Redemption, the infamous series, midnight club.

But not really, besides the broken motherboard my old CPU for absolutely no reason had an issue where it went 100% all the time playing not that demanding games like fortnite and Apex Legends. it was an I7 9700k and the motherboard was an asus strix gaming E Z390 and to this date i still do not know what the heck was going on. I didn't see that much of an issue so i didn't really wanted to spend the money until this thing happened lol.

Currently playing Starfield, atomic hearts and im very excited for the new Payday 3, i played the beta and i really enjoyed it.

I will not deny that the monitor is pretty basic and very "value for money." but honestly it gets the job done, however I'd like to jump to 1440p to have to finally get rid of these cheap monitors.

I am currently thinking of the Sceptre E275B-QPT168 (1440p, 165hz, 27 inch) as my new main monitor. and switch the one im currently using as my secondary and maybe switch to two screens setup or buying the same 1080p panel as a tertiary

thoughts?

What you'd like to purchase sounds fine to me. Your GPU should be able to push out the power required to run that FPS but I would highly doubt most recent games played on ultra settings at 1440p with your GPU. I use a 1080p ultrawide 30 inch 200hz MSI something, brands don't matter as much as long as you're not going off-brand. ASUS, MSI, BENQ anything that's a recognizable brand works tbh.

However for the size to res ratio, you're going to want to go 1440p above 30 inches, so you going 27 inches and 1440p, great decision, it'll be crisp and tight. But again, from personal experience - you will face difficulty hitting 165 fps at that resolution if its for gaming. If its for movies and work etc, amazing, good decision.

I would recommend you stick to 165hz and 27 inches for your new monitor but get 1080p instead of 1440p. If you're not interested in playing games at ultra, then whatever you said, works best!
