    1. Leaves around 250 for your GPU. The difference between an ASUS and Gigabyte GPU lies in the model's cooler. However, since they make multiple models, I can't answer the question without knowing the specific models.
    2. Valorant would run around 500fps on low with a GTX 1660 Super. Which is why the above build uses AMD Ryzen 5600 instead of Intel Core i3-12100F; the AMD model has faster IPC (instructions-per-clock) so you're not CPU-bound.
    3. I'm suggesting a micro-ATX build because they're cheaper than full ATX. And small is nice.
    4. Dell S2522HG (24.5" 240Hz)
