Yo TTG, So for some time i've been thinking of switching from XB1 to PC. However i just haven't came round to it or had enough time to be thinking about a gaming PC. I'm just wondering how much you guys think i could get a PC that i can run games on at a decent quality and also broadcast/stream at a good quality. The main games i would be playing are Fortnite & Apex legends.
I'm UK based. Any help would be really appreciated, Thanks |

| Why are you thinking about switching to PC? Are you looking for a higher quality and/or higher frame rate gameplay, or do you just want to play popular games with keyboard and mouse at 60hz while streaming? Would you need a keyboard, mouse, and monitor? The more money you put into it the higher the quality and the longer it will last. |

We have no idea what your financial situation is like, so we can't really dictate a budget for you. Fortnite and Apex aren't exactly the most demanding games though.
At a minimum, I would say you'd need 200 quid, but that's only really going to get you an entry level system if you buy used parts. |

Do you need a monitor within budget?
If not, what monitor(s) are you using or what is the budget for monitor(s)? Do you need a kb+mouse, any other peripherals? Any preferences for parts/aesthetics? |

247 wroteThe transition from Xbox to PC will be quite tricky are you sure you want to get into that. No aim assist and typically a lot better players in general. Is streaming a big requirement for you when playing or just something optional?21 wrote We have no idea what your financial situation is like, so we can't really dictate a budget for you.

21 wrote Do you need a monitor within budget?Yeah i'll be needing a monitor & a KB w Mouse. I can up my budget a little if needed however i don't really want to be spending any more than £500 on one! I don't have a any specific parts in mind i'm just wanting a half decent PC that will run games like apex & fortnite and also broadcast in good quality. To the guy below, Yeah streaming is a big part of it for me. If i couldn't switch and stream then i'd literally just stick to xbox lol. |

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
CPU: AMD - Ryzen 3 1200 3.1 GHz Quad-Core Processor (£61.64 @ CCL Computers) Motherboard: ASRock - B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (£68.97 @ CCL Computers) Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (£39.18 @ Aria PC) Storage: Crucial - MX500 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£53.98 @ Amazon UK) Video Card: XFX - Radeon RX 570 8 GB Video Card (£129.45 @ Amazon UK) Case: Cooler Master - MasterBox Q300L MicroATX Mini Tower Case (£39.98 @ Novatech) Power Supply: Corsair - CXM (2015) 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£48.48 @ Amazon UK) Monitor: BenQ - GW2270 21.5" 1920x1080 60 Hz Monitor (£70.51 @ Box Limited) Total: £512.19 Buy any £20-30 kb+mouse combo off Amazon for now. Add an HDD when you have some more cash if you need/want more storage. You'll also probably want to add another 8GB RAM at some point. If you're comfortable buying a used GPU, you could get an RX 580 and save £50. Alternatively, the GTX 1650 and maybe 1650Ti are supposed to be out soon, rumours were end of this month announcement I think. Also worth noting that we should be hearing more about AMD's Navi GPUs and Zen2 CPUs within the month. |
