Help with PC build for some gaming and more

[orel503]

Hello,

I am looking to build a PC for around 1000$. This will be mainly for doing university school work, some minor gaming, such as playing league of legends and fortnite, and watching movies/youtube videos. I am hoping to get around 120fps, or at least enough where the game feels smooth if the connection is good. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Suggestions for monitor and mouse will also be appreciated.

Regards,
Orel.

Activate Windows down the line... https://www.howtogeek.com/244678/you-dont-need-a-product-key-to-install-and-use-windows-10/

Also get a HDD later on if you need more space.

For e-sports games a 1060 might be an overkill. A 1050ti shall suffice.

 

[Hellfire13]

For consistent 120fps @1080p, 1060 will be required.

Hey and thanks for the replies everyone.
My friend is saying that two years from now that RAM won't be enough. What's your thoughts?
Also 240GB is limited. Any recommended hard drives to add to that?

 

[Hellfire13]

Yeah, 8gb is already the minimum requirement, so its better if you upgrade it asap.

If you want quality HDD, then go for WD BLack Series. Or else you can use this...

Is there any suggestions on other possible monitors? I am thinking 27 inch instead of 23.

Thank you.
