You're gonna have to learn to do it yourself if you want to not waste money
Just search up a youtube tutorial, by the 3rd attempt you'll get it.
The only thing to remember is to release the lock on both your CPU and GPU before pulling them out. I fucked up a $600 CPU one time just ripping it out
Besides for that you can afford to go through trial and error

just look at like an ltt guide, it really isnt that hard even though it seems intimidating dont worry
kalayav_n [#3]how the fuck do i access my specs
windows -> task manager -> performance -> top right
loneliness [#8]what CPU are you using? if you have old gen CPU, you have to upgrade your mother board as well. replacing RAM and SSD is really easy, you can do it yourself without worrying
updated i bought this pc a while back when the rtx 2060 came out so it needs a big ass upgrade

what about for compatibility? i dont wanna buy a part that isnt compatible with my motherboard

you can use pcpartpicker.com to check compatibility easily
Your GPU is fine, Valorant is a CPU intensive game, I recommend spending the majority of the money on a good AMD CPU, but make sure it's compatible with your motherboard (if not, allocate enough money to buying a motherboard thats compatible with it)
Also 16 gigs of ram is all you need unless you absolutely need to have a second monitor playing skibidi toilet on it
Your monitor is also already good enough. Theres a huge difference between 60 to 144hz but theres barely any difference (enough to give you a competitive advantage at least) between 144 to 260hz

Also make sure it fits in your case lol and that the case is well ventilated. An overheating CPU can drop frames consistently by 80%
