Hi all,
I previously posted asking for recommendations to achieve a budget gaming PC for my son, who solely plays Fortnite, currently. The loud and clear advice was the lower budget was going to be hard and will compromise. As such, I've worked with him to save more and up the budget (and do more chores around the house!) over a number of months. This is where I have landed:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Mobo: MSI MPG B550 Gaming plus ATX (B-grade from OCUK)
RAM: Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 C16 3200MHz
SSD: 1TB Kingston NV3 M.2-2280 PCIe4.0
PSU: be quiet! System Power 11 650W
Case: Kolink Observatory MX Glass ARGB Midi Tower
GPU: Intel ARC B580 Guardian 12GB
I wasn't planning to get an additional CPU fan and just use the stock one with the 5600X, given this will not be used firstly in highly stressed settings (leaning towards performance mode will be his preferred use for Fortnite).
As we assemble this, are there any potential issues with this setup anyone sees? Anything else we should consider here? For reference, I built my own gaming PC last year, was the first I've properly done it (thankfully it all worked), but would thus say I'm quite the uninformed amateur.
Many thanks!
