Anyone looking for the "best" gaming PC for Fortnite will find that at the end of the day, it really doesn't take a lot of hardware to play the game with high settings and high frame rates. Fortnite is a relatively lightweight title, ensuring that even a GTX 1060 gets good FPS at 1080p and 1440p.

did your cat fade in the wash?
ReplyDelete....I've built thousands of computers, my first was put together with a soldering pencil; but I'm still never comfortable asserting that my designs are superior to anyone else's. Certain "design habits" are generally better than others, though.
ReplyDeletehey do something for this please $700 very good for playing/streaming fortnite and has like everything ssd everything please

Snowflake is always a great addition to the content!
ReplyDeleteHi. No arguing against your choices from me - I went out and bought the Gigabyte Aorus B450 as suggested! 1 question though if I may - without extra cooling and overclocking malarky, just sticking to standard; what do you recommend to do in the BIOS? I have a basic windows 10 set up for gaming.
ReplyDeleteDell™ Inspiron 3670 Desktop PC, 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i5, 12GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive, Windows® 10 Home. Can it run fortnite at 80+ fps on mediem or low settings
ReplyDeleteCosts 1115 dollars in india despite picking some cheaper items..by total of 250-300 dollar less..its real bad..😡
ReplyDeleteCould I use a phantoms p300 instead of that case?
ReplyDeleteStreaming on gpu is always better with single pc, zero impact to performance, and quality is only by a tiny bit worse.
ReplyDeleteIt's annoying that these builds are so much cheaper in the US compared to Canada... if I buy some parts in the US it's still cheaper, even with the low Canadian dollar... :/
ReplyDeletecould you play apex on this
ReplyDeletewhy would i build this? my 1993 hewlett packard with the upgraded 56k modem still runs. i mean really that things flies. 80486 cpu @ 725mhz with integrated dual floppy drives and a whopping 512k of ram not to mention the massive 40 mb HDD. it still dials up prodigy. so i can check email. never ever had a virus issue.
ReplyDelete“Relatively cheap” BOI
ReplyDeleteLove this type of video, makes me feel a lot more comfortable when looking at building a new pc that will work better than what I've done in the past. 1 question, If I went with the R7 CPU, would the MSI x470 be the better mobo for that CPU, or is it just an upgrade for the R5?
ReplyDeleteI need that pc😭
ReplyDeleteFound your channel by accident. Saw that video and went on a research for the exact same hardware, your 700~750 dollar pc when bought here in Brazil (Just doing the exchange of 1 dollar = 3,85 Real 'our currency') goes for 2888,63 R$, now with shipping and the stores margins, you end up paying about 3.900 R$. Now imagine that Brazil's minimum wage (here we're paid by month 'days worked' rather than by the hour) is 954 R$, that being 247,70 $ US dollars. So in the end, that is not a "mid range pc", that, here is a high end very very very VERY FUCKING EXPENSIVE pc. And I'm an IT analist and have a 5k salary (1298,20 US$) which is considered a high paid professional here. That is how nice it is to live in a socialist country folks, steer away.
ReplyDelete@Gamers Nexus - content suggestion: tech reviewers always talk about cpu performance in video editing , but i have never seen them do cpu tests on compiling large software projects. my 8 year old gen3 i5 with a 960 still cranks out 60fps in league of legends np so i havent had any reason to upgrade, but now that 6 and 8 core processors are finally available at mainstream prices i would love to see a breakdown of say a 2600 vs 2700x vs intel i5 and i7 compiling projects in a few different IDEs. c++ in visual studio / java in eclipse and maybe command line gcc / javac in linux would be a good start.
ReplyDeleteYou could save more and get better performance with a RX 580
ReplyDeleteBought the same CPU motherboard combo on Black Friday with an rx580. Should be here today.
ReplyDeleteWill this run Runescape at ultra?
ReplyDeleteYou know. I've never built a computer, and I can't wrap my head around the different components and what the numbers mean, but I'm so much better at PC building than you guys.
ReplyDeleteI'M BETTER THAN YOU AT EVERYTHING!
ReplyDeleteWhat? You told me to say that :D I'm not, but don't blame me for following your instructions! :P Love your content, you've made me want to build a PC again despite all my terrible experiences with it in the past.
Would you recommend any changes for someone looking to build something around the same price to play like "guild wars 2" "black desert online" and "warframe"? But not planning on streaming to YouTube.
ReplyDeleteMy current PC I built back in 2007, and it's starting to show it's age with these games. I thought about just updating the CPU and motherboard, but thinking it might be worth just doing a whole new system. I can reply with specs of what I have now if you'd like.
Not planning on doing overclocking, just stock. I know enough to build a computer, but don't keep up with what is best manufacturer and bang for your buck.
Thanks!
Way too much thermal paste. Also, shouldn't this build include a webcam? Maybe a headset? It seems like that's required hardware for a streaming rig. Other than that nitpick, great video!
ReplyDeletethose sidebars showing progress of graphs show time are neat bro
ReplyDeletedoes 2600x come with cooler or im screwed and wont be able to use it
ReplyDeleteJust a few days later and prices way higher.
