to get all the pcs and peripherals and stuff that lets me play valo with at least 144 fps
maybe not now but when i eventually save enough money
i dont hear ppl complaining abt ram prices that much lately but does that mean its going down a bit or at least stable
If everything new only for pc probably like $600 with 5600x and rtx 5060 + 8x2 gigs ram
5060 is like 300, and you still have to get the rest of the pc and peripherals
Valorant doesn't need much money to run on 144hz
If u just want to play valorant, a dedicated gpu is also not that much important it would run good if u have good igpu and atleast 16gb+ ram
600 usd would be enough
if you build on am4 with ddr4 and some budget graphics card and offbrand 144hz monitor you should be good to go for 1k max prolly around 700?
if u want the absolute cheapest here is the cheapest ones I could find that werent a complete piece of shit
GPU: Intel Arc A580

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600

Motherboard: some variant of a B550

RAM: 16GB DDR4 RAM (I just linked a generic one from a reputable brand, you can cut costs by getting a less reputable brand but I would just pay the extra to be safe tbh)

SSD: Kingston 500GB gen 4 ssd (Kingston is a bit slower than Samsung SSDs but hella reliable for the price imo)

Cooler: AMD stock cooler (comes with CPU)
Power Supply: I personally would recommend ASRock Pro Bronze 650

but there is a whole Power supply tier list if it doesnt suit your needs

Case: Any ATX case (it doesnt really matter, just aesthetic preference)
total price of the build I linked = 554 GBP (convert it to your currency by yourself)
obvs you could save some money by going offbrand for the RAM and SSD but honestly if youre sinking 500+ into a PC I would pay the extra for the reliability
thank you for detailed answer ill look into it, never knew intel made graphics card
there are several stores that sells used pc parts in my vicinity so ill also check if i can get the parts that you listed with cheaper prices
honestly intel cards are really good for budget builds, they have invested a lot into becoming the go-to for budget GPUs. The card I linked you is really cheap for an 8GB VRAM card, and the slightly better but more expensive models like the B580 have 10GB of VRAM, which is more than some cards that are like double/ triple the price
Be careful with intel cards tho cause I've heard that even tho they've improved, on some games they aren't optimized other than that good list
It depends on your country but it is very much posible to get all for ~700 monitor included
If you only want to play Valorant and other games with relatively weak graphics you can cheap out on a GPU and just get a decent CPU. My PC was ~600 a couple of years ago and I get ~300 FPS so you could probably throw something together for ~500 although it makes sense to spend slightly more and future proof imo
*not including monitor + built myself
honestly building pc from scratch is pretty intimidating, is there like anything that i absolutely should be aware of
so long as you follow a tutorial you will be fine. Id prioritise getting modular parts (e.g. for your PSU) as it means you can detach the unnecessary wires and they aren’t everywhere.
id use pcpartpicker to see if everything is compatible, i made the rookie mistake of using an old case so my CPU cooler is taller than the width of the case. i have to take the side panel off and use air as the ventilation. so long as you pick the right parts it will be relatively easy.
600-700 euro for everything is the bare minimum, if you want to have a bit of upgradeability (for instance get a powerful enough psu, go last get cpu especially am5) you can get away with 1k
$600 for a PC
can buy a good superlight clone for $30-40
Good artisan mousepad clone for $20
Can probably find a decent budget mechanical keyboard for $20-30
Can get a 144hz monitor for $80, less if you want a lower refresh rate
Can probably get a headset for $50, less if you don’t need a headset
Overall $820. If you need help with finding any of the peripherals, I can help. I’ve spent years researching the best super budget peripheral options
never thought 200 bucks can get myself an decent full set of peripherals i thought i would need like at least 350, thx
you need MONEY and to get MONEY you need a JOB
you need to WORK 6-8 hours MONDAY TO FRIDAY
