Hey everyone! I'm looking to build a gaming PC that can achieve over 300 FPS in Counter-Strike 2. I would really appreciate some budget-friendly recommendations on which GPU and CPU to aim for. My budget is around $1500, and I'm planning to play at 1920x1080 resolution. Thanks in advance for your help!

Your budget will definitely guide your choices. Are you building it yourself or having someone help out? Building can save you some cash! If you’re set on that $1500 price, aim for those mid-range GPUs and maybe look into a Ryzen 7 if you can fit it in, especially if you multitask with games and streaming.
It sounds like you're aiming for quite the gaming setup! Since your budget is around $1500, I'd recommend looking at something like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT for the GPU. For the CPU, you might want to consider an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or Intel Core i5-11400. Both combos should get you that 300 FPS in CS2 without breaking the bank!
Those are solid choices! I’d also suggest checking for any deals or used parts. Sometimes you can get a great GPU for less if you look around!
I’m actually planning to buy the parts and have my work IT guy build it for me. Just trying to get the best recommendations!
