Hey guys, I was looking over at this channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7Y7E6NnY4Q&t) and I found these comparisons and I was thinking of going with the 300$ one because tbh, the only game I'm currently playing is fortnite and occasionally overwatch but I run them on the lowest settings. Looking to be able to play the games at least 1280x720 with solid 60fps/no drops, etc.

I looked at another thread that was posted here in July and the budget for that PC was also 300$ but I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to these things.

Can ya'll help me out?

The Ryzen APUs are a great choice for the budget. They'll handle what you need really well. Similar to the build from the video you linked but faster RAM (highly beneficial on Ryzen APUs) and higher quality Motherboard with far more expansion freedom (4 RAM slots for example).

Is it possible I could start with the build from the video & then upgrade it later on with the specs you've listed? Thanks for this btw, it's really helpful!
Also could you recommend me a monitor? This build will come close to 400$ so I don't want to go too much over that.
