I just recently got a really good deal on a Samsung Odyssey G7 monitor but I don't think my current setup can push the monitor to it's full potential - 1440p, 240hz.
I chatted with a sales rep from Memory Express last week and he said pretty much anything he has in stock at the moment would not be a significant upgrade on my current graphics card so it wouldn't be worth buying. Pretty nice and honest dude.

I do need another computer for work, simple stuff like web browsing, MS office, a bit of photoshop. I might just build a basic PC for now without a GPU. Then when GPU prices come back down to earth I'll get a nicer one for myself and put my old one in the work PC.
If you get memory express to build you a new computer you will have a better chance at getting a GPU. A relative was able to walk into memx last week and get a 3070 because they were getting them to build the whole computer.
