i need a pc build for around 500 and possably a am5 cpu or not trying to stream get over 120 fps in fortntie

umbral rain
#

am5 at 500 is not gonna happen

teal vector
#

what is a good 500 doller pc

fiery bobcat
#

Used PCs

#

Or this but it ain't 500

umbral rain
#

definitely look at used gpu and cpu

cloud pewter
#

though any pc @ 500 is not gonna hit over 110 fps when it comes to fortnite

teal vector
#

should i get like a series s then

cloud pewter
#

this is what i get whenever i play it

barren shuttle
#

gaming on shitty 2 compute unit igpu

#

👍

umbral rain
#

so 120fps anything isnt gonna happen

cloud pewter
barren shuttle
#

actually

#

that doesnt have a psu

#

nvm

umbral rain
barren shuttle
#

you do not want to use it

cloud pewter
umbral rain
#

thats quite literally the worst one

cloud pewter
#

if you're going to do igpu on am5 you get the 8700g

barren shuttle
#

ik suggesting it was half a joke

umbral rain
#

i think the 8600g is more cost effective

cloud pewter
#

8600g = 760m = 1630/1050 performance on igpu

#

8700g = 780m = 1650-1060(3GB) performance on igpu

#

8700g =7840hs but on desktop instead

#

first time we have a direct cpu comparison that's between a desktop, laptop and also a handheld console

#

7840u = 7840hs but at 28w

fringe viper
#

Why are console apus so good though

cloud pewter
#

and amd z1e =7840u modified and running at 15w

umbral rain
cloud pewter
#

so far this is the only time we have a direct comparison between all 3

#

we do also have another comparison but that's only of a laptop and the amd z1

#

but yeah, am5 for 500 for a full setup is totally not possible

teal vector
#

so console

cloud pewter
#

if you scroll up, you can see what i get, and that's me playing 1080p at maxed out settings

barren shuttle
#

get $700-1200

#

$700 is probably bare minimum and $1200 is where youll get the best performance per dollar

teal vector
#

ok so i owe someone 200 and i get around 20 every 2 weeks

barren shuttle
#

now this is for a new system

#

if you're ok with used

#

you can do what ppl were saying earlier and get an old office computer to slap a gpu into

umbral rain
#

depending on your used market, used may or may not be a much better option

good 1200 pc with a am5 cpu and a nvida gpu

cloud pewter
barren shuttle
#

@teal vector buy that shit

#

you can straight up use it as is

cloud pewter
teal vector
umbral rain
barren shuttle
#

just no

#

use my build

cloud pewter
#

gf1 > titan

barren shuttle
#

titan is a tier though

umbral rain
#

the titan gold does have a 12vhpwr connector

cloud pewter
barren shuttle
#

it is?

#

thouught it was like c tier

cloud pewter
#

nope

#

$30 saving

barren shuttle
#

k

cloud pewter
#

850w gf1 = $89

barren shuttle
#

time to edit all my builds

#

😭

cloud pewter
umbral rain
#

nope

teal vector
#

good nvida gpu

umbral rain
#

no

#

not nvidia

#

unless you live on rt games

barren shuttle
#

ah I remember why I didn't choose the gf3 now

#

it wasn't atx 3.0

#

and I was only looking at the atx3.0 section of a tier

teal vector
#

i need nsync

cloud pewter
cloud pewter
umbral rain
barren shuttle
#

gf3 is the same price

cloud pewter
#

there's actually several atx 2.0 psu's with the 12vhpwr connector

teal vector
#

i need a nvida gpu for straming and gsynic

umbral rain
barren shuttle
#

augh

#

memory

cloud pewter
teal vector
#

not gynsync

barren shuttle
umbral rain
#

many gsync monitors also have freesync

cloud pewter
barren shuttle
#

gsync is literally just freesync: nvidia edition

teal vector
#

true

#

i just am a nvida guy

cloud pewter
umbral rain
#

nvidia is just not good now

#

(for gaming)

teal vector
#

i ant building this pc for a while still

#

in maybe like a year or 2

umbral rain
#

its gonna be completely different by then

#

tech moves fast

teal vector
#

i know

umbral rain
#

why are you planning it now then

barren shuttle
#

updated

umbral rain
#

no point in making lists when a year from now, its all gonna be completely different

cloud pewter
#

tbh, it can be less than that
