You're looking for a budget-friendly gaming setup to hit around 100+ FPS in Valorant. With your current components, you should be able to achieve that with some tweaks and optimizations. Your specs include an Intel i5-2500K, a decent SSD, and enough RAM for multitasking. Focus on upgrading the GPU and ensuring proper cooling if you plan to run Valorant consistently.
This setup on a 6770 with 1080p and high refresh rate works well, so the answer is yes.
It seems possible to upgrade beyond the HD6770 even on a limited budget. Consider getting an R7 250 if you can. It’s not a dedicated gaming card, but it offers better performance than the 6770.
You're seeing HD6770 outperform the GTX 650 in benchmark tests.
You'd need a 660 at least and affordable enough to avoid the 650. The r7 250 works well, likely a rebranded 7750. Better alternatives exist compared to the 6770, and based on my experience, the HD 6000 series isn't great with Windows 10. I couldn't install a 6670 and now have a 6870, which won't run legacy drivers. The HD 7000 series might still be an option with the right drivers, or you could consider NVidia. 750ti models are now reasonably priced.
