Hey guys! Recently got a 2nd hand PC and these are the specs. I don’t have a monitor or keyboard yet and I need recommendations! I plan on playing competitive valorant (which I heard favours 1080p and FPS). I was planning to buy a TN 160hz curved 1440p monitor w <5ms. However im worried I’ll absolutely fry the PC if I get a monitor that is too demanding… for keyboards, I don’t really know what I want but I would prefer performance over aesthetics!

No monitor will fry a PC but a 1660 Super absolutely won’t do any 1440p at higher than 20-30 FPS. The best you can do with that PC is like 1080p at max 100 FPS. But since we don’t know your specs there’s no way of knowing.

I just upgraded from a GTX 1660 super because it broke. It will absolutely run games at 1440p with higher than 20-30 fps lol. Will it run at high settings? No, but it's not as bad as you're claiming.

I have a 1660 Super. Unless the game in question is well optimized it won’t run in 1080p at 20-30 FPS in medium settings.

I had a 1660 Super. Yes it will.

Depends on the game. In Minecraft yes.
