I also don't need a hard drive because I already have a new one!

 

I want to run games on high/ultra and in Fortnite I want like Effects/Texture to run on HIGH but i want to have above 70+ FPS 

 

Would this pc be able to handle up to date games? and maybe some streaming on the side?

 

 

Thanks

-Kevin

 

also since it is on the coffee lake i do plan to upgrade it through its life I just want some FPS feedback

Looking to get an unlocked CPU for that Z series board some time soon? If not, get a B360. If so, it's decent for a budget option, but there are better out there if you stretch the budget a touch.

How about this

looks good, and won't have memory bandwidth problem because of that dual channel memory :). Getting a hard drive down the road might be a nessesity as 120gb won't be enough to store more than 2 AAA games, unless of course you aren't using this for games, but it will be filled up easily from daily usage in most cases. You can easily get a 1tb hdd for about 50$

For $30 more you get 3x the CPU threads, overclocking, a better video card (also cheap FreeSync monitors), twice the SSD size, twice the RAM and a real cooler. Also, a 1TB game drive, an extra fan and more upgradability

My friend works for a company he said he’d give me as many hard drive as I needed

Then drop the HDD and get a 500GB Samsung 860 Evo instead
