Best Budget Gaming PC for Valorant
If your budget doesn’t stretch as far as you’d like, don’t fret. With Valorant’s extremely light PC requirements, you can still achieve an excellent gameplay experience using a more budget system. For that reason, we’d suggest the Chillblast Fusion Prime 11.
It’s a less expensive gaming PC that still delivers excellent performance when playing Valorant (and even many other modern games). It has an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card, which will both offer a great gameplay experience. Plus the CPU can easily handle photo and video editing should you want to try your hand at content creation.
These components easily outstrip even the game’s high-end requirements, meaning you’ll be able to achieve well over 100+ frames per second, even with graphics settings on ultra. And even though it may not be the best choice for playing the more demanding triple-A games of recent years at super high settings, it will still provide an enjoyable gaming experience at 1080p.
Additionally, it has 16GB of DDR4 memory and a massive 1TB SSD, which allows for quick load times and plenty of storage space for Valorant (plus many other games). The Chillblast Fusion Prime 11 is an excellent choice for gamers looking for a solid machine without breaking the bank, thanks to its low price and dependable components.
Best Mid-Tier Gaming PC for Valorant
If your pockets are a bit deeper and you want a gaming PC that will provide an even smoother gaming experience in Valorant and other tactical shooters, then we’d recommend the Chillblast Fusion Sorcerer.
Not only does a PC of this calibre provide a stellar Valorant experience, but it will also give you an excellent gaming experience in top triple-A games for many years to come, all still at an affordable price.
Being only one generation old, the NVIDIA RTX 3060 graphics card is one of its most impressive features, capable of delivering stunning visuals and smooth performance. Even at ultra settings, you are more than likely to hit way over 200 FPS in shooters like Valorant. Perfect for those looking to up their game and collect more victories.
For those looking to play more system-intensive games, the RTX 3060 will be able to provide an amazing 1080p gameplay experience with most of the settings on high, all whilst maintaining a respectably smooth frame rate. It can even stretch to 1440p gaming in a lot of cases, but some sacrifices on graphical settings may have to be made to ensure a smooth framerate.
The Fusion Sorcerer also has a Ryzen 7 5700G processor and 16GB of superfast DDR4 memory, which ensures a smooth and seamless gaming experience. Additionally, the CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads make it an excellent machine for any photo or video editing tasks, or simply for general multitasking.

The game runs incredibly smoothly and looks amazing, with frame rates at 1080p easily surpassing 400 frames per second at ultra settings. Even at 4K ultra settings, you’re likely to still be able to achieve near 300 FPS in low-intensity games like Valorant.
