Help me configure a pc!?

supershadow230 · August 4, 2018

Alright so my friend wants to get into pc gaming but only had a budget of $600 i came up with this list.

would it be fine for fortnite, pubg, team fortress while on discord with maybe some chrome tabs open and obs recording?

Can the i3 8100 handle 1080p60fps video editing at least?

Mainly wants to play pc and save clips for edits so can this pc handle it

It's a little over but will be much more suited to video editing than the i3 system.

I'd say it would work fine for Fortnight, TF2, pubg, and all of that just fine. I don't have much experience on the editing aspect of your question, but recording might slow your system down a bit. The quad core i3 is a decent little chip, have you considered ryzen at all?

so the thing I would be concerned with is if he is to edit video and have other things open like Chrome or Photoshop for example it would get really slow but I think it should be fine other then that.
