    I am getting an i5-8400, 1060 Gigabyte G1 6GB & 8GBs of RAM. I wanna run games like fortnite & GTA V & other games on medium-high settings. Do you think those specs can manage that without going below 60fps at 1080p? Thanks!

    My newly built pc won’t post

    I put my whole pc together, and it turns on. The fans turn on, everything looks as if it will post, and then the pc loses power and restarts the cycle. There is an audible click when it fails, and I do not know what it is coming from. Any ideas?!?
