450$

Beastbuilder66 · June 4, 2018

I’m going to build a 450$ Gaming pc so I can play fortnite. Could anyone help me find parts for my pc.

Do you need anything other than the PC itself such as a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc?

I would suggest looking for a used PC with a 3000 or 4000 series i5 or i7 and a 970 GPU though, new is going to be tough at that price if you need peripherals.

Yes I need a monitor but I have a keyboard and mouse already

You could also try a 2200 or ryzen 2400g I found this https://pcpartpicker.com/b/bLfH99 and you could try a used GPU or a cheap one

EDIT its a micro ATX board go for a full ATX board, get a 24in? 1080p monitor for the lowest price you can find

With a monitor, this is about the best I can come up with.

Drop the SSD or HDD if you have something you can reuse from elsewhere and you'll be in budget.

I went with the Gigabyte board because it was $10 more than the cheapest B350 board and offered 2 extra RAM slots for future additional RAM.

Edit:

If you can find a used/cheaper monitor then I would go that route. Poke around craigslist and whatnot, see what you can dig up there as there might be a good deal which will cut the cost down from having to buy new.

Edit-2:

If you can't get a used monitor or something and HAVE to drop a part from the list and don't have a spare HDD around, drop the SSD. As mentioned below it's definitely worth it though if you can afford it but if not then go without for now.

You could drop the SSD from this to stay on budget however in my opinion it is worth the price, it'll make the experience far better.

Yah, I forgot to edit that in to drop the SSD if all else fails but I would say it's definitely worth it in the end
