best i could come up with and staying pretty much in budget. Its integrated GPU, as I dont see how a dedicated gpu will fit this budget. not sure how the performance is with fortnite cant imagine any good/

 

ps; shitty psu, slow ram and meager mobo oh and never heard of the case before. cheapest one i could find

He could buy a used PC off ebay.  Lots of used, name brand PCs on eBay for a good price, and he still has money for a decent video card like a RX 570.  This PC has an i5 3470, 4 GB RAM, comes with Windows 10, and has free shipping.

What ddr is it i think that it needs at least 8gb of ram

Howdy, I'd really reccomend buying an AMD prebuit with a socket AM4 motherboard like this guy to start out with https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F193010146504 , an AMD a4 system has a lot of upgradability for when your friend's budget improves and you can fit a decent gpu on the used market in for the price of this prebuilt. As this system runs you can probably run a somewhat consistant 60fps in medium 1080p on these titles. I have run an optiplex that I got from my college surplus with an i7 2600 and a geforce 645 oem for the past few years with decent results.

Yeah i know can you link me 1 more kit of 4gb if its not a problem

[Hopeshadowninja1111]

[Hopeshadowninja1111]

The eBay PC I linked to has dual-channel memory.  You really need the pair (2x2 GB) instead of one 4 GB.

Do you think that windforce r9 270x is a overkill? 

[Hopeshadowninja1111]

Ok this was really helpful, thanks again

Nope, not for that PC.  It should handle Minecraft and Fortnite nicely.

I use that gpu on my personal rig and it works great, i have a bottleneck i use i5 660

get an old workstation and make a few upgrades:
