Hello all, PC NewB here. I am planning on building my first gaming pc! I just began researching all this stuff not too long ago, so I'm not very educated on it all yet. My budget was around 600 for the PC itself (which is what I have). I would mainly only like to play fortnite on it, so Im wondering if this will be able to let me play on fairly high settings with 1080p60fps, or close to? I also would like to connect it to my game capture which is connected to my PS4 to possibly do some streaming! Would this be capable of handling both of these tasks (not simultaneously, of course)? Thank you so much in advance if you're helping me out I really appreciate it!!
 
Solution
Go Ryzen (350 motherboard, not necessarily the 320), especially for streaming. You'll also want more storage, for games and programs: an SSD is nice, but if you're that tight on budget, I'd recommend a larger capacity HDD from either Seagate or Western Digital.

The AM4 socket is also newer, so it's better for upgradability.

I would only like to play fortnite so should it be fine? I could also end up upgrading later in the year to i5 possibly

Oh, alright. Never mind my words on that then. An SSD is nice for hosting the Operating System. :p
