Is there any website where it builds for me, because I don’t know how to make a computer
 


Sure, here you go https://www.ebuyer.com/gaming/pc-builder/configurator/407/34650713c9ead4134e5dd30c39a799196afaf903

However, this website has a pretty narrow selection of parts, therefore this build is not the most price efficient. Here's a much faster build for the same price: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/zTxHWD

I highly recommend either a large SSD, two SSDs in RAID 0, or an SSD and a large HDD, but you can choose any storage option by clicking "Edit this part list"
 


 


Wait what did you give me, also I need a website that builds for me 🙁
 


Oh, I didn't know you wanted a pre-assembled computer. If that's the case, just use the first link, which is what you have built, but with a better graphics card so you can run PUBG on med-high at 60 fps+. Just when you buy pre-assembled, you lose about 20% in price efficiency. That's the trade-off.
 
You should honestly just build it yourself. You want pubg 60+ fps but you’re spending money on their service rather than computer parts. Give them less money and give more money to the actual parts for a better computer. I honestly didn’t even know the rx 470 is that much better than the 1050ti according to the shadow guy. I have an rx 470 and I play stable 75 on a 75hz monitor with freesync (medium settings)
 


Ah I know, how will other games such as H1Z1 and rust run on this computer?
 


I know but I can’t build a pc, and I wouldn’t want to risk it 🙁
 
seems good but I'd say remove the windows 10 instalation from it, you can install it yourself if you already have a mac or PC and get a key for like 5$ on ebay
 


Check this out

Rust https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY0qNk8rcLE

H1Z1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JYSSuh5BHw except this build has worse processor and ram but it doesn't matter cause they're not the bottleneck here anyway, so you'll get about the same fps, may be a few more

Also keep in mind these are running on high-ultra, so if you run on med-high, you'll get stable 60 fps with vsync or 75-85 fps without vsync
 




Would you not be able to tell me the frames based on my pc setup
 


Just updated my previous reply
 


Also can someone tell me why I can’t add an SSD drive ?

 


Well, that is ultimately up to you to decide.

Will you be able to play all current titles with 60+ fps on med-high settings? Yes.

How is price efficiency and quality of this build? Average.

Are there any clear weaknesses in this build? The biggest weakness is the hard drive, since it's a few times slower than a solid state drive. What will it affect? Game and OS loading times. Will it affect the gameplay once it's loaded? No.

All the best! Hope you understand the trade-offs and make decision that fits your needs.
 


You can, it'll just be more expensive.
 


Why can’t I add an SSD drive though?
 


But on the website when I try adding one it doesn’t let me. Could you add one and then share it back please haha 😀

Here's a budget version with 240GB SSD and 2TB HDD, where the SSD can be used for OS and a few games at a time, and the HDD for everything else.

Or here's a version with just a 2TB SSD

SSD is a storage device like hard drive, but it doesn't use a spinning disk. Instead it uses silicon-based memory, like flash drives. Unlike flash drives, though, it's very fast, copying hundreds of MB per second, whereas a hard drive is only 50-60 MB/s. This results in much faster loading times for games and the operating system. So if a game takes 10 seconds to load with a hard drive, it will load in 2-3 seconds with an SSD. So what is it for? Same things as the hard drive, just much faster.
 

Oh thank you and does it do it for every game I have?
 


Yes, it will do it for every game and software that's installed on the SSD. That's why it's recommended to install windows on the SSD, because then, if before it took 20 seconds to turn on your computer, now it'll take 5.
 


So what do you think I should do with Windows then? And how would I add it to the ssd drive ?
