I need some PC advice for a fortnite gaming and streaming PC ...

[orlandolucaholmes]

Hi guys,
So pretty much I want to stream fortnite on twitch and youtube.
At the moment I just have a laptop so I was thinking about customizing a pc and I have no idea about pc's or anything so I have a few questions and need some advice.

So at the moment the specs I've gone with are:

1 x ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 TI DUAL OC (already have)
1 x Intel Core i5 8400 8th Gen CPU
1 x Gigabyte Z370 HD3 Ultra Durable LGA 1151 Motherboard
1 x Team Elite 8GB (1x 8GB) DDR4 2400MHz Desktop RAM
1 x Corsair Force Series LE200 120GB 2.5" SATA III TLC SSD
1 x Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - ST3000DM007
1 x Bitfenix Nova ATX Mid Tower Window Case - White
1 x Corsair CX750M - 750 Watt 80+ Bronze Modular Power Supply

So the questions I have are:

Would this PC be able to run fortnite max settings while streaming?
If so on what fps?
Are there any parts I can get that are cheaper and have pretty much the same performance or better?
What parts should I change?
Would any of these specs bottleneck others?
How could I make this PC cheaper?
How could I make this PC better?
Is this PC worth about $ 1991 USD?
Is their anything I should be careful of?
Anything else I need?
What should I change overall?

Please try your best to answer all my questions as good as possible.
Thank you guys so much for reading my thread.
Thanks guys!

for streaming you either go i7 8700k

or ryzen 2600(x)


drop the ssd, its too small

get a GOOD 550w power supply

up the ram to 16gb

Depends, pretty much you can max out any game.
Now there are 2 things about streaming.
1. CPU streaming encoding gives you clear picture but its cpu heavy task ( but you can assign cores).
2. GPU gives you less load, encodes faster but image is a bit muddier but since you are going for 1070ti you can max out games and i think the image should be fine.

You need 16GB (2X8GB)
Ssd is fine if youre gonna keep windows and small games for faster loading but i agree you need a bigger one.
You can cheap out on a GPU and get 1060 6GB or used 980 or 980TI since they equal 1070 and 1060.

And for PSU? Its good one look up jonnyguru first then type whatever you want.

for ryzen go 3000+ ram

you dont need more than a 650w power supply



5400 rpm is too slow for a primary drive
