Three new SC Builds machines are entering production.

SC Builds

Best gaming PC for Fortnite, Warzone & Valorant

For competitive shooters, frame rate is the spec that wins games. High, stable FPS means lower input lag and cleaner tracking. Here's what our builds put up in the three games people ask about most.

Fortnite

Fortnite rewards raw frames on Competitive settings. Our Spark S1 (RTX 4060) hits around 220 FPS at 1080p — ideal for a high-refresh 1080p monitor and a tight budget. Moving to 1440p, the Vortex P1 holds about 200 FPS and the Nova P3 about 190, so you keep competitive frame rates at the sharper resolution.

Warzone

Warzone is the heaviest of the three and leans on both CPU and GPU. The Spark S1 delivers roughly 130 FPS at 1080p on High. At 1440p, the Nova P3 lands around 140 FPS and the Vortex P1 — with its 16-core Ryzen 9 7950X3D — pushes about 155, the most comfortable Warzone experience in our lineup at that resolution.

Valorant

Valorant runs fast on almost anything, so the goal is pinning your frame rate to a high-refresh monitor. The Spark S1 turns in about 300 FPS at 1080p. Step up to 1440p and the Nova P3 does roughly 330 FPS and the Vortex P1 about 350 — enough to feed a 240Hz-plus display with room to spare.

Which one should you buy?

If you play primarily at 1080p and want the best value for competitive shooters, buy the Spark S1 at $899 — it hits the frame rates that matter in all three games. If you're on a 1440p high-refresh monitor, or you also stream, step up to the Nova P3 ($1,349) or, for the most headroom, the Vortex P1 ($1,999). Every build ships with a fresh Windows 11 install, updated drivers, and a per-unit stress-test report, so the frames you see in our estimates are frames the machine has actually held.
