Budget (including currency): 500-600

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly Fortnite

Other details Best Budget since I have to build 2 PCs'!!!😞

 

Thank you for any great ideas...they have been playing in 11" iPad pros at 120hz...they have been playing Fortnite since the beginning.  Now all they do 

is whine about it.  Any help would be great!

Maybe a console would be a good choice for them, since you can't fit 2 good PC's in that budget and monitor and stuff

Reminder⚠️

I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100%

Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help

I thought of that, but I would also like for them to have the ability to play/do class work on them if needed.

welcome to the forums! remember to quote and mention the person you're replying to so they'll see it

@Kanna @HelpfulTechWizard

 

with $300, if you include a monitor, a kb, a mouse, you're probably left with close to nothing for a tower unfortunately

it's wiser to buy a single system and make them share?

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Please quote me, you could see what the guy above has to offer then you could buy that PC twice but you can always get an used xbox one for under $200

I have peripherals...I would like to be around 500 per build, and for the boys to enjoy their game.  Every time I build one out I am over $700, but not sure

to what is needed to keep Fortnite fun, and somewhat crisp looking.
