I need a Good graphics card to play Fortnite competitively that fits in a PC build that is around 1.5k to 1k

[Fireord36]

I need a Good graphics card to play Fortnite competitively that fits in a PC built around 1.5k to 1k. I am trying to build a PC for my B-Day and I need some suggestions on A graphics card some people have told me a 4070 and others have told me a 7900gre or a 7800 xt I need a good price to a good to performance card that I can use to get high FPS in Fortnite on lowish settings. If you find a good card I'm still kinda new to building pc's I research a lot but =ot much experience as this will be my first PC so if you could make a PCPP list it would be greatly appreciated. 

 

THANKS

Note: better build below

 

For higher quality SSD and MB you'd have to lower storage to 1TB

Alternatively you can also get higher quality parts/save some $ by building in cheaper case (but watch for clearance and if it at least has a fan in it)

[Fireord36]

What fps do you think this can run in fortnite at low settings also how hard would it be to change the colors I might be able to do it

[podkall]

I apparently missed a cheaper GRE model, here's a build with better SSD and MB:

You may want to include your location and what currency you're talking about.

what colors are we talking about?

 

this list uses fastest current CPU, something you want in a high fps in esports genre games

oh mb i thought u were talkiung screen colors I was thinking a black and white PC I can paint some parts if you think it would look good bc I got a white desk and black and white secret lab

[Fireord36]

so the video said it ran really good FPS on 1080p max settings and the rn I got a 60hz monitor but I'm upgrading to a acer nitro 27 inch https://www.amazon.com/Acer-XV272U-Pbmiiprzx-Technology-DisplayHDR400/dp/B07MQBPMJ2 it looks good right?

the PC looks pretty all black to me already, unless you're looking towards specific aesthetic

Same. I either look at rtings or Monitors Unboxed. 

 

Regarding the OP, the GPU choice for lowish settings from the cards you mentioned will not really matter as much as a good CPU that can push and maintain high and stable frames.

If you don't need GSync, this seems a better deal...  can't paste the Amazon link for some reason so that is concerning...

Im not getting a Nvivia card so I wont need Gsync

 

also if u had to choose one monitor which is better

If I had to choose, I would get the Acer due to price alone.

 

With your build and your initial monitor budget, I would get a 1440p UW...  But that's my way of thinking.  A solid PC deserves a lot of nice viewing real estate.

 

Amazon.com: AOC CU34G3S 34" Frameless Curved Ultrawide Gaming Monitor, WQHD 3440 x1440, 165Hz 1ms, FreeSync Premium, Height Adjustable, 3-Year Zero-Bright-dot, Black : Electronics

 

 

[Fireord36]

Yeah also do you think that the 1675 hz will hold back the 7800x3d and the 7800 bc I want to use them to their full potential

 

[Fireord36]

ANd for fortnite I dont NEED 34 inches but it definitely is nice

Realistically, some games will be able to achieve frame rates far beyond what monitors can show, even that 500hz one.

 

I simply crank settings up until my fps drops to my monitor refresh.  

 

A 165hz monitor is more than enough imo.   Anything more is gravy and a bonus .

 

I for one LOVE ultra wide gaming.  It's such a great feel to have that extra side areas for UI stuffs as well as fitting my eyes viewing area.

 

A UW will compliment your 7800 while not leaving it wanting more.

the GPU doesn't really ask how many Hz the monitor has, it just goes as fast as possible unless stated otherwise with Vsync/framerate cap
