How to improve · 9 pts to C

Valuecosting ~13 pts

Biggest non-performance spend: memory (+$163 over a solid baseline) — shifting that toward the GPU buys more frames.

CPU/GPU balancecosting ~13 pts

CPU-limited — measured at the 1080p reference, a faster CPU would unlock about +42% from the GPU you've chosen (median 105 fps today). CPU: entry-level, GPU: high-end.

Balance

CPU-bound (72%)

Your CPU (estimated entry-level) is limiting performance for 1440p gaming. The GPU (estimated high-end) is 2 tiers higher and has headroom your CPU isn't feeding. We don't have FPS data for either of these chips yet, so this is a spec-based estimate, not a measured verdict.
