    I am looking for a pre built pc for my son. He plays game like fortnite and rainbow six siege and he likes to live stream. At the moment he can only stream 30fps and would it to be 60 so it’s watchable but still be able to get at least 100fps in game thx my budget is around €1250. Thank you!!

    This is a decent 2nd hand PC, at a decent price, use remaining money to buy a new or 2nd hand GPU, some good ones on adverts at the minute due to the new Nvidia range coming out.

    The guys here speced my first PC here a few weeks ago and I ended up at €1080 and that included a monitor so it should cost you less seeing as you don't need that.

    You'll see the thread in this forum if you search for it but I had a Ryzen 7 1700 and EVGA 1060 6GB.

    A GTX1060 is going struggle to put out 100 fps on quite a few AAA games, its quite a long way off the most powerful GPU's out there

    you built yours yourself though right?

    everything gets more expensive when you get a prebuilt

    Haven't put it together yet and just waiting on the monitor to arrive from AddressPal but I have everything else here waiting patiently :pac:

    I've watched loads of build videos on YouTube so I should be fine putting it together but my uncle can help if I run into any problems.

    ok i rephrase you will be building yours but hyper wants a prebuilt so that one will be more expensive because prebuilts are more expensive

    If was going to spend 1500 on a PC I would probably pick up fitzgeme's 2nd hand PC off adverts, linked above, and buy a 1080ti with the rest whether new or 2nd hand, its much better value than you could get pre-built and all you'd have to do is slot in the Graphics card which is easy for anyone to do.
