What would be a better option for the graphics card? Top tier cards can go more than $1k. I just don't know where to stop without breaking the bank.
You can get the 8th best card, the 6950xt for a little over 600$ though you will need to go up to 1000w for the power supply.
You could also go with the 6800/6850xt or Nvidia's 3080 or 3090 since last gen has good discounts.
I don't like going Nvidia but it is an option you can take.
You really just need to pick a price. Something that helps is your use case. If you're going 1440p 165 hz that 6950xt will last a long time. If you're going 4k you will have less legs on the card but it'll still handle a lot. If you're going 1080p you are probably fine with the 6750xt
I'm seeing several options for a 6800 that are in the $500 range, you shouldn't have to blow a grand for that
What resolution are you gaming in first? That sort of sets the tone for the entire build.
What I had in mind was 1440p 144hz
