Best CPU/GPU combo for val

1000 pounds/$1200

7800X3D/9800X3D and spend the rest on whatever gpu deal u can find

7800x3d gpu anything over a 2070 level is honestly overkill

4060 if u wanna futureproof for other games too

same cpu what the other guys said and whatever gpu doesnt matter that much

If you want something futureproof, you need a GPU with at least 12GB VRAM

I would not recommend buying a GPU at the moment unless it's towards the low end. The market has been absolutely fucked for the mid range to high end since the 50 series has "paper launched." You should at least wait until the AMDs 9000 series launches, that way some of the prices reset.

4060 ti 16gb have been seen for $420 recently and with the 9800x3d being around 580 it fits together for 1k

i meant to put ti, its the one i got

but either way for fps games 8gb is ight

low/mid tier gpu + 7800x3d

ive had my 7800x3d for a year now and if i could i would marry it

if you only want to play valorant on it then go with what other people are saying with a 7800x3d and a low/mid tier card

otherwise i have a rtx 7600 with a ryzen 5 7600 and have 0 issues on any games

9800X3D, RTX 5070 should fit
