Hello guys. I wanted to ask you the best PC specs to build a PC that can run fortnite at minimum 150 FPS at high 3D resolutions. I actually have a budget of 500 US dollars. Help would be appreciated and it doesn't matter if the parts are used or not. And also if anyone knows where I can find used PC parts in USA online please mention the website link in the comment

Regards

Unfortunately the best place to find used parts cheap is usually craigslist. Are you willing to use Craigslist? If so you can usually find some killer deals if you know what you're looking for.

Reddit Hardware Swap. Best place to find used hardware, however you'll have to check and check often as the good deals go within minutes.

There's also HardOCP and Tom's Hardware, however Reddit is king.

 

Since you're going used people can only give rough recommendations; you'll have to hunt for the deals yourself.

Craigslist is OK, but it's far from the best place.

Yeah best shot will be to look up some scrapyard videos of PCs on YouTube then start hunting Craigslist and Ebay. $500 while enough for a console is not enough for a PC, and its unlikely you'll get to that 150fps your looking for. If you don't already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse you'll have a tough time acquiring them all at a budget like that. PCs take a higher up-front investment cost, but you won't have to pay $60 a year like with Xbox live and you'll have steam, which has games going on sale all the time. Along with that theres also sites like humblebundle where you can games super cheap. Theres also a pretty wide selection of free games you can enjoy for awhile.
