Planning to buy another one, with a budget of £1300, and not so high end parts, would this spec be okay only to play valorant, gta V and COD? happy to play even in 1080p setting only.

Will it be okay? Yes, it will.

Can we do a hell of a lot better for you within that budget? Yes, certainly. I'll offer two solutions, an AMD one and an Intel one.

Case
LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 GAMING CASE Just as pretty, but quieter and better for cooling
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Six Core CPU (3.5GHz-4.4GHz/35MB CACHE/AM4) Far stronger than the 5500 (which I would recommend to nobody: a terrible chip)
Motherboard
ASUS® PRIME B550-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready!
Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics Card
8GB AMD RADEON™ RX 6600 - HDMI, DP - DX® 12 Better than the 2060 and cheaper - what's not to love?
1st M.2 SSD Drive
500GB SEAGATE FIRECUDA 530 GEN 4 PCIe NVMe (up to 7000MB/R, 3000MB/W) You can afford an ultra-fast boot drive with the other changes...
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB INTEL® 670p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 3500MB/sR | 2500MB/sW) ... and an SSD rather than a hard drive to store your games. This is absolutely an upgrade you want
Power Supply
CORSAIR 750W TXm SERIES™ SEMI-MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET Strictly speaking unnecessary, but gives you way more capacity for future upgrades, as well as quietness and efficiency now (the RM850x wouldn't be a bad shout...)
Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 (120mm) Fan CPU Cooler Black Edition

Intel alternative coming next...

Here's the Intel alternative. It's a little more expensive (AMD's prices have finally gone down!), but it will perform a smidgen better in high FPS games like COD. Theoretically it's also got a longer lifespan: there will never be another CPU released to fit the B550 motherboard, but there will be another generation of Intel's chips that fit B660. Personally, I doubt that such an upgrade will ever be particularly worthwhile, but at least it would be there if you do want it.

Case
LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 GAMING CASE
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™ i5 Six Core Processor i5-12400F (2.5GHz) 18MB Cache The Intel mid-to-low tier CPU of choice

Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics Card
8GB AMD RADEON™ RX 6600 - HDMI, DP - DX® 12
1st M.2 SSD Drive

1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB INTEL® 670p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 3500MB/sR | 2500MB/sW)
Power Supply
CORSAIR 750W RMx SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET Have to upgrade to the RMx model because [insert complicated story about B660 power requirements here]
Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling
PCS FrostFlow 150 Series High Performance CPU Cooler The Hyper 212 isn't compatible, but this is a decent alternative, albeit not amazing

I will have a look on this. Btw. Is the motherboard b550 plus, both have an hdmi and a display port? If there is an hdmi, do you know if its the 2.0 version? Thanks
Click to expand...
It has HDMI and DP, but both are non-functional as the CPU doesn't have onboard graphics. You use the connections on the graphics card instead. I believe that will be three DP 1.4 ports and an HDMI 2.1 port, though for 1080p 144Hz it probably doesn't make any difference.
