Hi,

I've always been a casual console gamer and was debating the PS5 but have been convinced to make the leap to PC instead, plenty of research done at a time that seems to be exciting with new releases and competition, but with that come so many questions.

I want to use the PC for gaming AAA titles and hobby on the side would be to edit video and photos.

Main questions are;
CPU - Is the 5600x a good option with gpu or will it cause problems in the near future and be better to go 5900x now?
Monitor - If investing in a PC build I want to 'future proof' as much as possible within budget, do I go 1440p now or better to take the plunge to 4K monitor?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 CHROMAX.BLACK 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory
Video Card: ASRock Radeon RX 6800 XT 16 GB Video Card
Case: Lian Li Lancool II Mesh ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair RM (2019) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit
*Bought a Sabrent Rocket 1TB nvme pcie 4.0 on Prime day.

Thanks in advance for any support and replies!
