You can absolutely use windows 10 forever without activating it, but the downsides are : the annoying "activate windows" message and some settings related to windows theme and other settings in the personalization tab, and you can download windows 10 from Microsoft website for free

I thought it's the new ryzen 3 3100 or 3300x

In this price range, the best price to performance build would be the rx 570 with the ryzen 3 processor. Because the rx 570 is better than the gtx 1650 and it's cheaper, also ryzen 3 would be better value the the i3. Small question: which ryzen 3 processor the build has and which i3 the other builds have ?

If you are good at something(programming, I think) try combining it with what you love or what you want . if you want my opinion, sorry I am not very helpful at the programming side

This problem is probably caused by the anti-cheat program that Valorant use, for more information watch the latest video from tech quickie I hope I helped you with your problem.

If you want high FPS ( higher than 60) in most of the games, choose the 1660s. If you want acceptable performance for definitely less price, choose the rx 570.

For price to performance you would consider buying the 1660s, but if the price is the same with rx 5600xt you have to see some benchmarks between these two.

Try closing any suspicious app that is running in the background or any software that related to your motherboard , because in the past if you opened a game called Battlefield: Bad company 2 and Easy Tune( a Gigabyte software) was running in the background, there is a chance that the system will crash. Try reinstalling windows Sorry, iam trying to help The problem happens with this game only ?

You mentioned that your MOBO is a Gigabyte H97-HD3 , luckily this motherboard has the dualBIOS feature , so you should be able to recover the bios if it's corrupted. When the computer is off, hold the power button until the computer is off again , then press the power button once , what will happen is your motherboard might restart after these steps and it should enter the recovery mode , you can watch this video and follow it step by step, this is the link to the video: NOTE: if the recovery mode worked for you it will flash your main BIOS to the first bios of this motherboard in your case it's version F2, but you don't have to worry about compatibility because your motherboard supported your CPU since the first version of the bios , I checked your motherboard support page, here's the link : https://www.gigabyte.com/Ajax/SupportFunction/Getcpulist?Type=Product&Value=4954 I hope I could help you with your problem in my first post and sorry for my English.
