Good build for a 510$ pc to run Overwatch?

Yana

I would get a cheaper PSU, such as Corsair CX450M, Seasonic S12II

I would like to have your opinion before I buy it, thank you.(this machine is only to run overwatch at ultra/high settings. if possible?) Also would there be any high temperatures coming out of this pc?

There's actually a couple bad value choices there. Save some money on PSU and case and grab an SSD.

and an ssd will help run things faster? or is that just more storage that you can place, from computer to computer?

It makes loading screens and loading Windows easily 5 times faster. Maybe even more.

 

I can load into Windows and open my browser 12 seconds after the POST screen (I have timed it)

If he's just gonna play overwatch and not any other game, I would even remove the hard drive and just do a 240GB SSD since it will be enough space and higher capacity SSDs tend to have slightly better performance and last a bit longer.

Um, well I have this one atm. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-25-ips-led-hd-monitor-black-silver/5386143.p?skuId=5386143 so my brother would also like this one as well. it has a 1920 x 1080 resolution

It's fine. Here's how a G4560 and a 1050 Ti run on OW Maxed at 1080p

Question, would the 1050 ti break in any way? (my friends told me they were bad but they couldent support a reason).

There was a time, a couple months ago, that I would steer people away from 1050 Tis because for $20 more you could have 30% faster performance in the form of an RX 470.

 

These days, anything more powerful than a 1050 Ti is either sold out or costs over $500, so it's the best you'll be able to do.

 

And don't believe stuff like "hey man this card is designed to break after 2 years", that just doesn't happen lol. The MSI one is fine.

Ok thank you, my brother loves to talk with friends on skype while playing games, will the processor affect this in anyway? as in gameplay or voice comms

That CPU will not bog you down, it'll work well if you have a browser, game and voice comms open.

 

I've a feeling it will lose framerate if you run the game while also watching Twitch since twitch is pretty resource heavy

Well it would also take 2 monitors to watch twitch and play at the same time, not to mention the supernatural ability to focus on 2 things at once :P
