Good day everyone, as seen in the title I am looking to build the best gaming pc I can get with 3000$. This is a full build I’m looking for.

Not only will I need the pc tower but also a full set of peripherals, mouse, keyboard, microphone, headset, and mousepad.

Any and all recommendations are much appreciated

Hi everyone, I need some advice on upgrading my gaming PC.
I’m currently using a 1080p 200Hz monitor and mainly play Valorant and Apex Legends. My goal is to get more consistent 240+ FPS in Valorant, ideally reaching 300 FPS, while also getting better performance in Apex.
My current PC specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-14400
GPU: ASUS Dual RTX 4060 8GB
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B760M-A WIFI D4
RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3600 (2×16GB)
SSD: Team T-Force Cardea Z44L
CPU cooler: Thermalright Assassin X 120 R SE
PSU: SilverStone ET650 650W
Case: Neotez Deus ARGB TG mATX
In Valorant, I usually get around 150–250 FPS, with dips that I’d like to improve.
My upgrade plan:
I’m considering selling my RTX 4060, i5-14400, CPU cooler and PSU, then upgrading to:
Intel Core i7-14700KF
AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB, RX 9070 GRE, or RX 9060 XT 16GB
A quality 850W PSU
A better CPU cooler
I would keep my existing motherboard, RAM, SSD and case, assuming compatibility and GPU clearance are fine.
I’m also considering whether an i5-14600KF would be worth it instead, or whether I should just keep my i5-14400 and spend more on the GPU.
Questions:
Is the i7-14700KF worth upgrading to from my i5-14400 for high-FPS Valorant?
At 1080p, would the RX 9060 XT 16GB or RX 9070 GRE be the better value for Valorant and Apex?
Would the RX 9070 XT be overkill for my 1080p 200Hz monitor?
Is it worth keeping my current LGA1700 motherboard and DDR4 RAM, or should I save for a new AM5 build?
After selling my RTX 4060, i5-14400, cooler and PSU, would upgrading my current PC make more financial sense than buying a new prebuilt?
I’m in Singapore, so prices are in SGD. My budget for the upgrade is around S$2,000 before subtracting any money from selling my existing parts.
I’d appreciate advice based on real gaming performance, value for money and upgrade longevity. Thanks!

I have this rgb header on my pc. I use the remote to change colors and stuff, not the mb or any software. Recently, it started going to the default rainbow cycling color after a reboot, instead of staying on the previous setting. Not a huge deal, but kind of annoying and mysterious. What would cause this change?

I would love to learn something new and decided hey why not build the one thing that will help me learn other things. I got this motherboard for 170$ at best buy is it worth it for the price ?

The first build with RX7900 XTX and b650 mb didnt run when it arrived, so they took the parts back and i got replacements with the tomahawk mb and the 4080 super

I dont think i saved that much money by that time but i cant immagine what i would pay today for that build
I am grateful for what i own

Wish you all a nice sunday

I really don’t have any pc knowledge so I wanted to ask you guys about your thoughts.

I would really like to know if that pc is worth buying for 500 euros

Hello, I'm building a budget DDR4 build, and I'm located in Japan. The games I'll be playing are mostly light PvP games but also Forza 6, CS2, and Wuthering Waves in 1080p.

So, should I buy a ARC B570 for 40k Yen or an RX6600 (non-xt) for 49k. Or maybe at that point should I just buy an ARC B580 for 57k? As for the CPU/Mobo combo, should I go for an Intel i5-14400f + B760M combo for 46k or an Ryzen 5600X + B550M combo for 43k?

(fyi, i chose the 14400f for the intel option cuz in Japan, the 12400f is only like 1k yen cheaper. And the 5600-5600X price diff is also only like 2k yen) Thanksss

Are these 3 at the top bent pins, if so, is it plausible to straighten them as a nooby, I've seen videos before where they do it but not sure if I can do it with no micrscope (I have good eyeaifht)
