I've been using my current PC setup for a year, which cost around $1400, and I'm encountering issues. It keeps shutting down while I'm playing Valorant, which is really frustrating. I'm looking to improve my performance, especially for AAA games, and I suspect that some components might need replacing. My budget for upgrades is $500. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Have you checked your power supply? Make sure it's grounded properly. Also, reseating your RAM and updating your drivers could help. Your configuration seems solid, but a power supply of 750 watts might give you more headroom. Let us know how it goes; I’m curious about your solution!
Your PC should be capable of handling games well. If it’s shutting down, you might have an overheating issue. I’d suggest checking your temperatures using HWMonitor to see if that's the culprit.
Thanks for the tips! I’m planning to switch to a higher wattage power supply to see if that resolves the issue.
