Fornite: Budget Build PC Build

[smokarz]

Hi everyone, been out of the PC build for many years now.

Looking to build a budget but capable PC for kids to game Fornite.

I like to stay within the 500-600 budget if possible for the PC; excluding monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc.

Is this doable?

If so, can you suggest the components to get that would give you the best bang for bucks? I don't mind waiting for deals to come up.

Intel CPU - I5 8400?
Ram - DDR4 8GB or 18GB?
Mobo - ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte?
GFX - GTX 1050?
Case - NZXT, Fractal Design?

Already have a Samsung 250GB 860 EVO SSD, and Antec 80 Bronze 430 PSU.

I5 8400 six core
16GB (2x8GB) 2666 DDR4 you can make do with a single 8GB stick if you are budget constrained
B360 motherboard at least, H310 gives up a lot of features
1050
Cases and brands are a personal thing, see what matches your tastes.
may have to search many vendors to get the best deals, try pcpartpicker.com

thanks for the response.

is it worth looking at the AMD Ryzena and AMD CPU?

i would go with ryzen, also, I think you ask too much with regards to your budget.

Just picked up a Ryzen 7 2700 CPU for $220. What would be some nice mobos to pair with this AMD CPU?

Thanks
