Np, if you considering some advanced OC on that CPU get some better cooling and MB like B450 Tomahawk, if you don't want to OC absolutely get R5 2600 not x version to save some $ to spend on other stuff, but i would recommend to get that 2600x ?

+Some HDD for more storage 30$-40$

does luck exist? sure
 
can one person have inherent better "luck" than someone else? no

I don't feel overwatch is good game for competetive. Game doesn't punish you for mistakes. Everything that happens if you die, you need just wait a few seconds. In mobas it's critical because it gives enemy gold, and respawn timers are long so enemy team may get an objective in that time. Cs go is more about pure aim, while in overwatch you can always pick pharah or hanzo and hit almost all your shots. Overwatch is good casual game, but not competetive

You do you on how you want to style yourself, honestly. 
I knew people who would show up looking nothing less than fresh and I knew people who could not give a shit about how they looked.

I recently bought this watch for $570!!!! It was a waste of money but fuck it. shoutout to Tammy Churchyard.
@akram03

Waste of money IMO. 

I have the same CPU as you and i have ran into this problem also, The way i fixed it was by just doing virus scans and it found malicious cryptocurrency miners on my pc. May i ask, what antivirus are you scanning with ?

One of these and pop a decent GPU in it I reckon https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail?id=sdesgiggbbxi501b&categoryName=desktops---windows&superCatName=computing&title=gigabyte-gb-bxi5%2Fi5-4570%2F16gb-ram%2F250gb-hdd%2Fdvd-rw%2Fwindows-10%2Fb

Maybe slap one of these little mummas in it https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail?id=sgranvi1060gtx3gba&categoryName=graphics-cards---pci-e&superCatName=computing&title=nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-3gb-gddr5

Leaves more room for upgrading I guess. Kind of overlooked that. My bad.

OK. Good luck!

He said he already had some OS.

That is going to reduce the performance by a lot. Single channel and slow RAM won't really do well at all with an APU

I agree.

I have a keyboard and mouse and a bad monitor but i was thinking of purchasing a monitor a few weeks after the PC build. The operating system is also not necessary as i have many OS's. The only thing i need is the whole PC.

So, I've saved up around £400 for a cheap gaming pc for my brother as he is on console currently and i feel bad for him. I want some ppl to help me select some decent parts for £400 so i can build his first gaming pc with him. I really would appreciate if you could list some decent parts for the budget i have. My only concern is that he really likes fortnite. The problem with that is that the game is quite hard to run in some cases which i dont think would suit this budget thats why im reaching out to forums for professionals to help me.

Ok thank you very much.

EDIT: Changed to euros
 

Another used option (and quite a standard suggestion) is a used Optiplex with a 2nd or 3rd gen i5/i7 and some GPU. For new stuff, there's something like this

It might be worth looking to see if you can get a 2nd hand Dell Precision tower for about £200 then spend the money a decent used graphics card. GTX 970 are about £120 at the moment, should leave you about £80 for more RAM and SSD etc.

Will you need a monitor, operating system?
 
Does he already have a keyboard and mouse?

Fortnite is hard to run compared to other games. For 400 euros I can put together a decent, nice looking build for him.
 
It won't run ideally, but will save room for upgrades, using the 2400g.
 
Give me a couple of minutes to put it together.
