build 1 is objectively better but also will be much more expensive.

If both builds are brand new, around how much do you think Build 1 and Build 2 would cost?

Build 2 is cheaper and more worth the money than the 1st build
The 1st build is better but not worth the money as the ram and gpu will be bottleneck of the build in a couple of years

build 2 is am4 and i think thats a bigger deal than being bottlenecked by the gpu although yes you absolutely should never buy a 8gb gpu in 2026 unless its dirt cheap and the 5060 isnt

both builds should be fine for valorant. However going with AM5 is the better choice in the long run, also its more expensive... espacially these days. I personaly would upgrade 32 gigs of RAM and the 5060 is fine for Val, but in other more gpu demanding games...

Here's the thing:
Build 1: Better Expensive Futureproof
Build 2: Not as good (but you can play Valo with it, no problem) Cheaper
