PC requirements for Fortnite?

Since I want to buy a PC for my son and have very little idea about it, I turn to this forum. I'm currently looking for a complete package PC, monitor, etc. In order to use it with Netflix, Office program applications and Fortnite Game.

Question: Is it easily possible with this calculator or should I pay attention to something relevant? Note, my son is not a professional but only a casual gamer who occasionally fiddles with friends:

The processor is simply too weak and so is the Igpu.

A PC with a Ryzen 5 2600 and an RX580 or 590 would make more sense.

Et

This answer confuses me a bit, since I read in another forum, 2.8GHz would be recommended for a Core i5 and for the AMD it is up to 3.8GHz

oa

The more the better

oa

From Amazon? What's the price? The processor is a bit too weak

Garfikkarte is also not really available

Et

Then maybe that would be something?

In this case, the total price, including monitor, keyboard and mouse, would be 899 euro

Ar

At lower settings, Fortnite will probably run between 30 and 45 FPS. That is "sufficient", but how it is with PCs will look very different again in 2 years. For Netflix and Office, that's enough.

About the sound: Since neither the PC nor the monitor comes with a loudspeaker, you have to buy them if you don't have one at home.

Et

@DeaDo what do you think about this one?

Et

I'm concerned with the here and now, then I will upgrade in 2 years. I just don't know what matters with the graphics cards.

ma

The GHz number does not play such an important role.

This PC would be much more suitable for Fortnite.

You would have to configure windows with it.

At Amzon there are only bad Pcs [Or stop Csl computers] (Since they already give 7% to Amazon!) 899 is too much

So I would put 2 Pcs to choose from: https://hardwarerat.de/...0-sata-ssd

(Costs 500 but because of Corona…)

https://hardwarerat.de/...0-sata-ssd

(Costs 600 but because of Corna…)

But prices are unlikely to drop in the next few weeks

Monitor: https://www.mediamarkt.de/...rtseite%7C

With newsletter voucher 129 euro

keyboard

At the moment there are no particularly good offers except a wireless (less gaming-compatible keyboard [But since your son? Yes, certainly not a professional player, it shouldn't be that bad])

https://www.saturn.de/...51cc5fac39

If he doesn't like it, take one from the hardwarerat.de shop (or send a link and I "rate" it)

Mouse https://hardwarerat.de/...chwarz-usb

A simple mouse pad is sufficient from https://hardwarerat.de/...novationit

(The PCs have no Wi-Fi! That means would have to be connected via Lan / Dlan)

If you use the 640 (Pc) +129 (monitor) +19 (keyboard) +10 (mouse) +1.49 (mouse pad) = Sun ~ 800 (possibly a few euro shipping costs)

But since I've now seen that the budget is 900, you can also take the next higher-priced PC https://hardwarerat.de/...0-sata-ssd

(Or just take the previous one and Dlan if Lan is not possible)

If there are questions just answers (I'm also not a Pc professional but…)

oa

All together there's unfortunately almost overpriced

Et

How about this keyboard:

https://hardwarerat.de/...witch?c=22

oa

Yes, that's fine

Et

How about this offer?

https://shoppingkanal24.store/computer/monitore/2885/philips-276e9qdsb/00-lcd-monitor-1920-x-1080-pixel-full-hd-5-ms-reaktionszeit

or then this one?

https://shoppingkanal24.store/computer/monitore/2929/philips-68-6-cm-27-curved-full-hd-monitor-271e1sca/00

oa

This is a fake shop!

Et

Oha… Honestly?

ok… Can I get anything reasonably reasonable at this price?

oa

https://www.saturn.de/...77ba564063

169 euro or 149 euro if Otto is a new customer

There's nothing else on offer (but that CAN change quickly)

Et

As if Otto was a new customer?

So buy from Otto?

oa

If you were a new customer for 149 euro with code
