Gaming Computer PC Specs

Noman khan · 9 Jun 2018 at 16:55

I want to buy a new gaming computer/pc for under 150 and be able to play fortnite around 45-60 fps at medium settings.

I found this one:

£149

Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 @ 3.00GHz

Ram 8GB DDR3

Graphic Card 2GB Nvidia GT710 VGA & HDMI

What fps would i be able to get with this?
Any suggestions on a way to get better specs for similar price?

I was also able to find to find another one for around £100 which is better than this (it has GTX 460) but i heard its a lot older graphics card and can fail anytime, it also doesnt have any warranty/guarantree..

Thanks

Remove the Ebay link or you will get into trouble.

That PC is no good for playing fortnite. Not even at low settings. The GPU is simply not upto the job, neither is the 460. You will be lucky to pick anything up half decent for £150

Well.. the gtx 460 on ebay had a picture with it showing medium settings and it had 51 fps, is that not decent????
the only reason i am not buying that is because of the warranty issue

what do you consider as good/decent?

Think that is a bit out of the £150 budget

Sooo any ideas on how i can get through this without buying a 1050 ti PC lol??

And add a GTX 750/750Ti 2GB Low Profile. Are they selling GTX 750Ti 2GB for £40 second-hand? Yeah just had a look, £30-40 on several with little to go before bidding over. But I repeat - has to be Low Profile to fit in that particular PC.

That would be fine for Fortnite and £200. Assume its PSU can handle a little card like that. From what I've found on the 'net, it's a 250W PSU with 17.8 Amps on +12v rail, so 210W or so for CPU and GPU, which would be ok for such GPUs.

There might be better options, don't know.

What do you mean by low profile??

It should state it in the name or description, or say "LP". Basically with a shorter PCIe bracket than the normal one. Some come with the LP bracket already attached, and some come with it separately and you have to attach it first. This is an example (different card):

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Gigabyte GeForce GT 1030 Low Profile 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £64.99

Total: £73.69 (includes shipping: £8.70)

And this is one of the Low Profile/LP 750Tis:

And here's an unboxing of another model:

How would i put this in the pc? never done pc building before but i am good with electronics lol

Wow this seems much better than buying that original PC..

Noman khan · 9 Jun 2018 at 22:19

Btw what effects the rendering speed of the building/homes in fortnite the cpu or the gpu? right now on my laptop that rendering takes wayyyy too long

I was able to find

Dell Optiplex 7010 SFF
i3 3.4GHz 8GB RAM 500GB HDD

for £80

which is good.
But now i found a 1050 TI for £57??
There were others as well

In the description it says

"This is a customized version, not original. The pursuit is the cost performance.
Although the interface and performance have changed, it can meet most of the usage requirements in reality."

should i buy this, even if its close to 1050 ti its better than 750ti..

also where is the £40 750ti??

Ok lol last post

what i found for

£140

Core i3 2120 3.30ghz
8GB DDR3 RAM
500GB Hard drive-->£70

Nvidia GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 --->£70

The 750 ti is better then the 1030 but its really hard to find low profile 750 ti so i just went with the 1030.

what i am worried about is the core i3 2120 is that bad? i think it only has dual core but it does have 4 threads. what fps would i get with that.. after looking at some videos online i can see around 60 fps at 1080p medium settings.

Should i go ahead and buy it.
