here's a list of 144hz, 1440p gaming monitors under £300: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#X=0,30000&r=256001440&D=120000,280000

Usually a quad-core H-series i5, a 1650 or 1650 Ti, 8GB RAM and a 256gb SSD or sometimes 1TB HDD. It varies widely depending on store and deal, but they will be quite capable at 1080p medium.

Entry-level gaming laptops like the Dell G3 and HP Pavillion Gaming can be had on Black Friday for around $550-600

A friend needs a new keyboard. He currently has one of those cheapo $30 Amazon ones with clicky Blue switches, and wants to switch to something a little nicer with Browns or Reds. The only real requirements is TKL or bigger (needs arrow keys) and backlighting (any color, but solid color or per-key RGB, not one of those fixed-rainbow ones). Also, should be black or dark colored, not white. I was leaning towards recommending a Corsair K63 or Logitech G610 Orion, but can't seem to find them on sale or even availiable much anymore. In the US BTW. TLDR backlit mec

Valorant and Warzone are good options. As questionable as Epic Games may be, their launcher has pretty good free games every Thursday (so far I have Just Cause 4, the entire Batman Arkham collection, GTA V, a couple Asassins Creeds, and a bunch more). Rocket League will also be free to play soon on Epic Games.

Why do you want to upgrade? Do you want more FPS/higher resolution, or are you doing content creation, or what?

The InWin 301 is white with some blue I/O lighting: https://www.amazon.com/InWin-301-Tempered-Micro-ATX-Mini-ITX/dp/B06XXSWWX6?th=1 It doesn't come with any fans, but since it's $70 you can pick up some fans for the extra $20. Here's a bunch of TG mATX mini and mid towers: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/case/#t=7,6&sort=-price&B=3,4&X=0,10000
-
Any aesthetic preferences (white, black, tempered glass, RGB fans included, etc.)?
-
I'd go for a 3100, just make sure you get a decent mobo so you can upgrade down the line to a 4000 series or maybe even 5000 if it is supported.
-
That's demonstrably false. Watch the LTT video... Higher FPS will help with frame timings and perceived input lag.
-
I'd just wait to build, like @WambleCropped said a LOT of stuff is either out of stock/overpriced right now. Also a 2060 is a weird placeholder, for a value temporary I'd get a 1660 super/Ti or even a 1650 super.
-
It's a great raw performer. Likely a better value than the 1650S at the same price, with the extra VRAM and also since AMD cards tend to improve more over time. I just wanted to stay away personally because of the driver issues and I also really like some of the extra Nvidia features like GameStream and Shadowplay.
-
At the same price, probably EVGA, Gigabyte's is a bit loud. If the difference is more than the equivalent of ~$10 go for the Gigabyte and change the fan curve. I'm in the same situation too, about to buy a 1650 Super just waiting for them to be in stock
