Question Budget £250 £300 stretch

[xhavocmh]

Hello all. I am looking to build a pc, or get recommendations on what PC to buy. I play fortnite professionally, and currently get 60fps mid game 30-40 lategame. I am looking for 150 or so mid game and at least 60 lategame. The only games i will play are fortnite, gta, and minecraft. All i need is good quality and high frames. Thanks!

What are your specs currently? What monitor do you have?

Would you buy used?

At low settings those figures are possible if you buy used.

I have no specs at all, just want high fps throughout the game and preferably 1080p quality. I would buy used, from a trusted seller or website, and this is the link to my monitor https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/compu...ull-hd-27-ips-monitor-black-10178628-pdt.html

Thanks!

You realize you won't see an improvement with framerates of over 76hz with that monitor?

Well to be honest that budget it rather low to achieve 150fps in fortnite.

Heres mostly new

Im thinking is may be more cost effective to just upgrade whatever pc is getting you those framerates now.

Could also buy this, rx470, and a new psu.

What is the current PC you are playing on? It might be better to upgrade it than to buy a whole new system.

Ah right well I'm afraid you will struggle. Look at remixislandmusic's list, and see what you think.

I would suggest buying these items.

Judging by the age of this machine it either has an i7 2600 or I7 3770.
16gb ram
500gb hdd

You can then chuck in a used RX470 or 480.

And then a budget psu like this:

Eh not really. The older i5 isnt going to get that high of fps.

I would suggest an older i7 at least.
