I will be near a Microcenter this weekend and am debating between two Powerspec prebuilts; I am also purchasing a new monitor capable of 1440p 210hz.

Microcenter's website lists 1 open box for the G533 available ($1,079).

I primarily play the following games on PC:

• WoW
• Total War: Warhammer 3
• Strategy and city builders
• I plan to play Avowed and Oblivion Remastered

Is the build with the 5070 worth the extra $200 ($300 if i go open box) to take advantage of the monitor (at least 144hz)?
