Is it good for playing Fortnite? CAPTIVA Power Starter R53-404 Business PC (AMD Ryzen 3, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD, air cooling)?

la

Not really, the game is running at the limits of what is playable.

Should I put something together for you in the price range?

Vi

At low settings you can do a little over 30FPS.

So no, just for a short game it is enough. Fun is something else.

Vi

A playable PC NEW is 520 euro as a ready PC.

Do it yourself at around 450 euro.

Em

That would be great. However, at Otto it costs just 433 euro. Is there anything decent for the money? It should only be a "transition PC" until my son has saved up the money for a reasonable one.

Em

At Otto, it has just dropped from 799 to 433. Unfortunately, I have no idea at all. It should be a "transition PC" for my son. Unfortunately, his current one is broken. This is "Beginner PC". And he just wants to save himself a good one.

la

So Fortnite calculator, you can put together on ebay for 00 euro, it hurts me now because you can use reusable parts here and there, inferior ones that you can no longer use later to keep the price or fall back on old technology.

everything i7 and ddr3 has is enough, even a c2q or a phenom x6 with appropriate graphics are enough to play fortnite maxed out.

Em

Unfortunately, I don't know what to look out for…

Ex

Would run on low settings. The PC is absolutely junk, if you would buy your son a good PC, he would not have to buy a new one at all, but would simply have to upgrade the existing one.

I would generally recommend building it yourself, which of course is not that easy in your case.

How old is your son? Maybe he wants to build it himself.

that would be a basis on which you can build, but the same cpu… A good cpu and we're at 450, with the appropriate graphics at 900 euro

would be a bit much for fortnite ^^

For rgb, 50-100 euro more computers had to be used, depending on how much rgb

Em

He is 13 years old, but he doesn't really have a clue…

The problem is that I can't afford 1000 euro for a PC. Therefore it should be a transition PC.

How do I know what I have to buy? Can I read myself there?

Ex

At 13 he could build himself. I did it with a lot of people at that age.

I could put together the right parts for your desired price. If you want

la

Ahcja and on ebay

i5 2500

8gb ddr3

rx 5500xt / rx570 or 1050 ti as graphics

an ssd could also be installed for 60 euro

Em

Ah. OK.

And can I read how the assembly works?

Em

If you feel like you can do that. If there's something for about 500 euro…

la

Cross screwdriver

the i5 2400/2500 comes with a housing and co. Delivered, make sure that it is not a narrow housing. Ram and power supply are usually also in it.

you throw the hard drive out after you have a win 10 iso. Burned.

Install ne ssd, 2 screws and plug in a cable is not that difficult.

with the graphics card there's a small plastic lever directly on the main board, which you have to push away slightly because it holds the graphics card in place, if there was one at all.

the 1050 ti and 5500xt use very little electricity

Vi

Yes, I understand that, but of course it's a disappointment if the games run very moderately.

Is like a car that only drives 70, can be on the highway but it's not funny.

At OTTO it looks great now, reduced from 800 to 430 euro, but if you know that such a PC normally only costs 420 euro and less, this is not really an offer.

Vi

At least they also write that it is only a business PC and not a gaming PC, i.e. A PC for office and Co.

Vi

And upgrading is also almost impossible… So then prefer to tie 520 euro to your leg…

Ex

There's clearly something, presumably he doesn't even have to upgrade it anymore. The only question is whether he wants to assemble it. He can definitely do it, if necessary I would also help if he doesn't dare to do it alone.

So he just has to buy a small new PC, but can simply upgrade, which is much cheaper.

If you have any questions or maybe it should be even cheaper, let me know

Ex

You already know that the motherboard doesn't fit in the case? 600 watts is maybe a little too much for an IGPU right? And 1T SSD for a 450 euro PC? You could do a lot in terms of performance.

Em

Thank you!

Em

Thank you!

Em

Thank you!

Ex

Not a thing, by the way, the compilation of helper444 does not fit and there can be arguments about the meaningfulness.

If there's anything else you know where to find me.

la

The previous speaker was right, a current, very popular housing, or would you prefer a cheap one?

https://www.mindfactory.de/...60f7c2fe9c

la

600 watts because it can be upgraded to gen 4

Ex

Who says you need that for the 4 generation? 500 watts are enough for 90 euro of all systems and I don't think that a 13 year old can afford a 1000 euro graphics card or CPU in the near future

la

With the gen 4, he can still retrofit an expensive graphics card in 6 years.

600watt is easier to withstand peak loads.

Better safe than sorry.
