Budget PC builds that can get 165 fps on val whilst recording consistently

I have no experience with gaming PCs and was looking for an upgrade once I get my first job. Can someone suggest a few builds at the minimum cost to achieve 165 fps on val while being able to run say obs or discord in the background?

i would say probably any i5 (or better) with 32 gb and 1tb ssd would be fine depending on how much you wanna spend, gotta consider that obs and discord are both pretty hefty apps to run as well as valorant the Archangel 4 by skytech isnt bad for its price/considering its a prebuilt

are you looking for prebuilts or building your own if you mainly play valorant, just get 16gbs of ram and upgrade your cpu and i recommend going for a ryzen am5 chip if you can since they are more future proof

recording is mostly cpu reliant so along with valorant (cpu based) you will most likely need like an i7 whats your budget

well for like $1000 you can probably get a 4060 with like a ryzen 5 7600x or smth like that you can also go into pc subreddits for suggestions

yes i wouldnt buy an am4 chip since its not future proof amd has already upgraded the socket so you would have to buy a new motherboard as well to upgrade cpu
Tartauros
Tartauros•7mo ago
Thats right but it looks like hes on a budget

bro i have a i7 8700k and a 1650 super w 16gb ram and get 300fps. just get a pc with a 16 series gpu and your good all u need is a i5 that is 8th gen above w a 16 series gpu

there are some am5 chips that cost around the same as am4 and i would much rather spend extra to avoid having to buy another motherboard in the future its the motherboard socket there are pins under the cpu and the way they are arranged is different between am4 and am5 wouldnt recommend getting an 8th gen intel cpu since LGA700 is most likely not going to last much longer and amd has much better budget deals than intel

8th gen isnt worth it anymore buddy
