Esports gaming is a totally different optimisation problem to AAA gaming. You don't need ray tracing, you don't need 32GB of VRAM, and you definitely don't need a £2,000 flagship GPU. You need consistent high framerates, low input latency, and a CPU that can actually feed your monitor 240 new frames every second in fast-moving titles.

The CPU is king
Competitive titles like CS2, Valorant and Rocket Leagueare heavily CPU-bound at high framerates. Your GPU could be sitting at 40% utilisation in Valorant on a 4060 — the framerate cap is coming from how fast your CPU can pump out frames. That's why AMD's X3D chips consistently top esports benchmarks: their large L3 cache means more game state stays close to the CPU, so each frame takes less time to produce.

Inside the build
Tuned to comfortably feed a 240Hz monitor in CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, Apex and Rocket League.
The full latency chain
Real competitive advantage comes from end-to-end latency: mouse polling, USB poll rate, CPU frame production, GPU render, display response. We can spec your build with a 1000Hz USB polling Wi-Fi 6E mainboard, ensure you have free USB ports for a high-poll mouse (Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, Razer DeathAdder V3), and recommend the right 240Hz / 360Hz IPS, OLED or TN panel to close out the chain.
Built the Forge way
Every Bolt is hand-built in the UK, cable-managed, burned in for 24 hours and benchmarked in a real esports title before dispatch. Free insured tracked delivery, 2-year warranty, real human support. Configure your esports PC in 60 seconds, or browse our base builds.
Common questions
An esports PC is tuned for one thing: the highest, most consistent framerate possible in competitive titles. That means prioritising fast single-thread CPU performance, a GPU strong at high framerates over peak resolution, low-latency RAM, and a 240Hz+ ready display chain — rather than chasing maxed-out graphics in single-player games.
There's a measurable competitive benefit up to about 240Hz — most pros and ranked players run at that refresh rate. The jump to 360Hz or 540Hz is marginal but matters at the very top of competitive play. Our builds are configured to feed a 240Hz monitor comfortably in CS2, Valorant, Fortnite and Apex.
Honestly, you don't need a flagship. The RTX 4060 / 4060 Ti and AMD RX 7600 / 7700 XT all push 240+ FPS in CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, Apex and Rocket League at competitive 1080p settings. CPU and RAM speed often matter more than GPU tier for esports.
Single-thread speed matters more than core count for esports. The Core i5-14600K and Ryzen 7 7700X are excellent value picks. For absolute top-end CS2 / Valorant performance, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the gold standard thanks to its 3D V-Cache.
Yes — comfortably at 1080p high or 1440p high settings. Our esports builds are tuned for high-FPS competitive play but the components are absolutely capable of running modern single-player titles well.
No, we focus on the PC. We can recommend 240Hz IPS, OLED or TN panels (BenQ, ASUS, Alienware) but monitors are purchased separately.
Built for the framerate, not the bragging rights. Configure your esports rig in 60 seconds.
