Extremely cheap pc build

[Time4_a_CRUMPET]

New to the forum and am trying to make a pc for my brother.

Which one of these builds would be better for fortnite and gaming in general?

Also will a Amd 760K bottleneck a radeon 460?

Pros:

Nice cpu

dual channel 3000 MHz ddr4

future proof 

 

Cons:

%25 more expensive

Less ram due to apu

Apu

 

or

 

 

Note: the actual CPU is a AMD 760K it isn't in the filters

Pros:

Dedicated Gpu

8 Gb ram not taken up by the gpu

%20 cheaper

 

Cons:

No future in sight for cpu, mobo and ram

Cpu may bottleneck the 460

 

Thank you

Ryzen, don't even bother with the old APU's anymore.

 

Also if you can, a used i7 4770 or 4790 build would be worth looking at on ebay/craigslist.

What is your budget? If it's under $400 you should buy used.

His first config is $ 515.93, while the second one tops at $ 410.48

So I guess the budget is around 400 - 500 USD.

Go for a Ryzen build if he wants brand new parts. If you want performance, build an i7 4770k build with a used GTX 980 or something, if you get lucky you can find 980s and 780Ti's for around $150.

Totally agree. 400 - 500 USD is quite low to have a decent gaming setup.

So you have two options:

The configuratoin of @kelvinhall05 seems very decent.

But if you would like to squeeze a little bit more performance out of your budget, go and look for used hardware on eBay.

yeah dont even waste your/his money on that second build, that shouldn't even be a consideration, first one or used system like they ^^ mentioned.

Thank you for the replies, I think I'm going to lurk ebay for a while, to find an older i7 and a 970 or 980 if I'm lucky. Thank you @kelvinhall5 for the build except I'm going to use a 2x4 Gb configuration for ram. Budget is around $500 cad with a option to go over if it is worth the extra cost.

Good luck with your eBay search! :-)
