The plan right now is pairing an RX 5700 XT with a Ryzen 5 5600, what resolutions pairs well with these parts?

1080p is the new 720p - also who plays on 1080p in 2026 lol

I honestly still love 1080p 24.5inch or lower. Easier to hit 144Mhz+ in some games. I like the smooth fps.
If I went 1440p it would be much harder to hit higher fps, especially in unreal 5 games.

Go for 1440p. The 5700XT can still do 1440p@60Hz on pretty much every game (and >120 FPS on most of them).

Modern AAA Games you are definitely not getting 60fps. If you drop all settings to low maybe but at that point why go for 1440p? (High settings 1080p looks infinitely better than lower settings on a higher resolution)

Every game?
You mean majority of older games?

I have had a rx 5700 xt and trust me its not a 1440p card in 2026. it is able to run games at fps that are playable with fsr, but it wont in like 2 years. So if you dont want to buy another card within 2 years:
Go with 1080p

1440p
You can always still play games in 1080p if need be

1440p And use fsr upscaling

Depends a bit on what kind of games you play.
Tat said: I wouldn't go higher than 1080p with that GPU. it just lacks the necessary performance and VRAM for 1440p.

True, also not sure if I can stretch my budget to a 1440p monitor

If you use your computer to consume other kinds of media, text is much sharper on a 1440p screen.
Size also matters since that will determine your pixel density. I wouldn't go above 24in for 1080p personally.
1440p is a great resolution imo.
