    Any reason you're buying a pre built system?
     
    You'll save a few bucks if you buy parts and if you can post on a forum you can definitely follow instructions- it's no harder than building a lego set. Also the knowledge of it is good to have.
     
    For example, here's that "Best" system in parts:

    You save 350-400$.
     
    But considering you're just playing fortnite, you maybe need to spend ~900 for a higher end 1080p system like this:
