Hey everyone! I'm trying to find out the minimum specifications I need for my PC if I want to hit 350 FPS in Counter-Strike 2 while playing at a resolution of 1280x960. I'm looking to keep costs as low as possible, so any budget-friendly suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You're correct about frame rates! The real challenge isn’t just having a good GPU but also a solid CPU that can keep up. I'd guess the minimum CPU you’ll need is an i3 12100, but an i3 14100 would provide a nice little boost. For GPUs, something like an RTX 2060 or RX 6600 should do the trick on low settings.
If you're playing at low settings, you might be able to get close to those frame rates with a Ryzen 5 5600X, an RTX 3070, and 32GB of RAM. Just make sure you're not pushing too many background applications like recording software or browsers while gaming. You could start with 16GB of RAM and upgrade later if needed. Alternatively, you could look into a Ryzen 5 9600X, but that would require spending more for DDR5 RAM. What's your budget looking like, by the way?
It's tough to recommend without a budget! If you're aiming for 350 FPS, consider a Ryzen 7600X with either an RX 9060XT or RTX 5060Ti, alongside 32GB of high-speed RAM (6000/6400mhz). An older platform like the 5700X3D could also work if you're okay with DDR4, which is usually cheaper.
