Hey everyone, I'm planning to build a new gaming PC since my current setup is struggling to hit 35 FPS on low settings in League of Legends. I'm aiming for a setup that can consistently achieve 300+ FPS in both League and Valorant while being able to stream smoothly with OBS without compromising performance. I'm not overly concerned about max graphics—my main priorities are very high FPS, low input delay, and stable performance while streaming. I also want to play games like God of War, but keeping competitive performance first is key. My budget is around $2500 CAD. I've seen recommendations for setups with Ryzen 5 7600 or Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with RTX 4060 or 4070, but I'm unsure of the best combo for my needs. Here are my specific questions: What CPU + GPU combo should I go for to guarantee 300+ FPS? Is the 7800X3D worth it for competitive games? Should I opt for 32GB RAM for streaming, or will 16GB suffice? Are there any particular parts I should avoid? I appreciate any help, and I'd prefer to go with AMD over Intel, possibly looking at a Radeon 9070XT if it's feasible.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is definitely worth it for competitive games. It’s one of the best CPUs available for gaming right now. For guaranteed 300+ FPS, pair it with a modern GPU like the RTX 4070 or even the 4060. Just remember to invest in a solid motherboard, PSU, and a good CPU cooler—skimping on those can lead to issues down the road.
Thanks! I was thinking about getting a higher-end motherboard, so it’s good to know I should not cut corners there.
