I'm looking to build a performance-driven gaming PC with a budget between €1000-1200. My goal is to achieve 500+ FPS in competitive games like Valorant, while playing at 1080p to 1440p. I prefer a sleek black build without any RGB lighting. I want DDR5 RAM and at least 1-2TB of storage. While I have a preference for AMD GPUs, I'm open to using NVIDIA cards if needed.
