Just get a laptop.

Will be good for CSGO, however I highly doubt Fortnite will be playable at decent settings with good FPS.

For the types of workloads you say you'll be doing on it, a laptop would be a better purchase.

[Princess Luna]

500gb and 1tb HDDs cost the same, get a 1tb WD Blue instead.

 

Celeron? okay you're pushing too much, at very least a Pentium G5400.

 

The rest is alrightish considering it's all very cheap.

It'll run Fortnite fine at 1080p lowest settings. I have a GTX 765M and it performs similarly to the GT 1030. 

 

That being said, get a used GTX 660 Ti, it costs like $30 more than a GT 1030 but destroys it in terms of performance.

mind ellaborating on how?

 

on topic:

- either get a 1TB or greater 7200rpm hard drive, or ditch the HDD all together in trade for a 240GB or greater SSD.

 

beyond that.. it's not gonna blow your socks off, but i dont think you'll find much better for that pricepoint..

Why not look into an AMD 2200g or 2400g instead of a Celeron + GT 1030? It'll probably be more efficient for you. The integrated GPU is very slightly less powerful, but the CPU is much better.

Cost wise it won't be too different, now a G5600 + GT 1030 GDDR5 is really decent, low end hardware has gone a long way.

backing this one.. i recently drilled out the pcie 1x slot on a pentium silver board (soldered low power cpu stuff) and added a somewhat capable GPU.. suddenly game-ready

i'm primarily trying to put the focus on the quite terrible choice of storage solution you're planning on going for.
