*HOT UPDATE* This game plays Valorant like a CHAMP! 1080p ~50ish FPS with a frickin GT 730, 200+ FPS at 1440P with a GTX 970, and ~144fps at 1440p with a GTX 1650 Super.

If you're wanting to get into PC gaming but are hesitant to drop a lot of money on a computer, today we test and verify some popular recommendations to save money and improve performance.
I stream PCPartpicker builds often to my channel, and the most popular budget people are asking about is the $600 price range. I've recommended all sorts of hardware, but I wanted to TEST these recommendations to better understand it.
I've been testing all week, and by shaving off 1 stick of DDR4 and picking a few parts from eBay, we can get the same 1080P 60fps performance for BELOW $600 [at the time of recording]
