Sweet Spot
The mainstream 1440p 144Hz target — two-thirds of our builds settle here. Steady frames in current titles, with platform headroom for the next 3-5 years of upgrades. Compatibility partial: 5 of 28 hardware checks ran (3 passed, 2 warned). 23 skipped pending precision spec data — verify physical fit and PSU headroom independently. 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. Sourced across 1 retailer. Roughly $23 below the tier average — real number, post-promo, no list-vs-MSRP padding. Out-of-stock parts get pushed below in-stock regardless of retailer; the order shown is lowest in-stock first. Affiliate disclosure sits next to every buy button on the build page; nothing about the order changes when you click through.
