$800 computer for pubg

[CooperMyers]

Brother broke his computer. Can y'all give me a list of parts to build a nice computer for PUBG with a nvidia GPU?  Budget: $800

[Herman Mcpootis]

right, gonna need more than that. which country? go and see which parts he can reuse before buying everything.

[Hiitchy]

Also, define broke. I’m assuming he threw it down a 6 floor apartment building

[MaccaB]

 

I recommend you get an i7 7700k or if you want to spend a little more get an i7 8th gen.

Gtx 1050ti should be enough for medium graphics but i recommend getting an gtx 1060 6gb.

8gb ram should be enough for medium graphics.

get an ssd which is so worth it right now.

450w power supply should be enough.

USA. His old computer is a laptop so no reuseable parts.

I don't know what he did to break it but it's a laptop so no reuseable parts.

[MaccaB]

Does not need a monitor unless you think a 144hz one is needed

On an $800 budget there is no way in hell that's happening.

I think you should get a 1 tb hdd

Its very cheap. Get a 160gb ssd put his favorite games and operating system on ssd. Put the rest in the hdd.

i'm leaving out the HDD just in case the laptop drive works, if not you can drop to an 8gb stick of ram and get a 1tb hdd.
