Hey i play fortnite competitively and are looking to get a pc with the best possible perfomance but still in a reasonable price range. I do not care how the pc looks. I've already made a custom build and i would like your opinion on what i can change up.

What kind of montior/s do you have? Like 1080p 60hz or 120hz... I need to know because a GTX 1060 could struggle with hitting 144hz depending on your fortnite graphic settings.

Do you already have monitor(s)? If so, what monitor(s) are you using? If not, what's your budget including for monitors?

$420 for a GTX 1060 makes zero sense. RTX 2060 is newer, better, has more features, and costs less. Motherboard might be a bit unnecessary tbh. SSHD is a waste of money, just get a normal 2TB HDD. Definitely don't need a 750W PSU for a GTX 1060 system. I also wouldn't get that case, the 275R is a budget case- not worth $80 IMO. I'd look at an NZXT H500, something from Phanteks, or a Fractal Meshify C instead.

So what you are saying is to not get a motherboard at all, if thats even possible?


So for the storage i should just not get the samsung ssd, and just get the seagate hdd?


For the powersupply i found a 450 W will this work?: [Minimum post requirement for links]


And then for the case: [Minimum post requirement for links]

I would recommend this build pcpartpicker.com/list/QTPCQZ. What 21 said is true. $420 for GTX 1060 doesn't make sense. I would either go with a RTX 2060 or a 2070 which is in my build. I believe the RTX 2070 is worth it because its only a $100 more and you more performance.

I also forgot that i am going to record ALL of my gameplay through obs, so i need to have space on my pc for vods, and the pc needs to be able to handle me recording while playing.
