    Building a fortnite PC for a teenager. Have case & PSU & ram & hdd. Just need CPU/mobo. Ryzen 4500 or 4600G with cheapo B450 board are just in budget. Is there any other spec I could get around 100 GBP?

    Searching through hagglezon (which comapes different Amazon's), I've got a decision to make:

    4600g + b350 for 100e

    12100f + h510 Mobo for 130e

    Is the Intel worth the extra? The CPU will be paired with an old 1030gt I have

    I wouldn't do the 4600g and B350. If I really had to go AMD, a 4500 and B450 at minimum. That said, the 12100 is better at gaming because the L3 cache on the 4500 is crippled. Just go with the 12100f from Amazon.de and the MSI PRO H510M-B from there as well.

    That said, the 4500 will play just fine with a 1030gt as the GPU will be the limit here. So if you get that cheaper you are losing nothing and the platform is perfectly upgradable.

    Have to ask, you do have DDR4 memory. 1030GTs were coming out when DDR3 was a thing. Just checking.
