I'm currently looking for a 1500€ build that can play 1440p with ray tracing in at least 30 fps (more would be a bonus). The current set I've been tinkering with has reached 1799€, I've added recommended brands for the RAM, motherboard and SSD as well as the cheapest case that is compatible with the cooler I've chosen. Looking for suggestions on how to adjust this build to make it closer to 1500€ while still achieving a similar performance. Thanks!
