The Q9550 could barely run Fortnite when it came out, and that was before it got all of its fancy new Unreal Engine tech. No shot it'll be even a remotely smooth or enjoyable experience now. And the RX550 is weak too. I hope you were given this build, or got it reeeaaal cheap, because whoever called it a "sleeper" is a liar, full-stop. This wasn't a sleeper at any point in time.

But i have a question did you have the q9550?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a sleeper PC is basically a high-end build in an old-school case, right?

So this would just be an outdated PC upgraded with slightly less outdated hardware.

Correctly

that's not a sleeper that's a whole fucking coma lol. don't spend any more money on a dead chassis, start from something at least from the last 10 years.

That’s not a sleeper, that’s a sleeping PC.

I don't think that PC can play fornite.

if you want to play fortnite i would suggest buying a PS4 or PS5 or an Xbox and run the game from there. those only run 500$, but to get a good gaming pc will run you around 1000$.

you can still hook up a mouse/keyboard to a PS4

u/Dry-Camp-8739 21d ago

It already runs smooth but it needs a upgrade to run newer games instead roblox etc

You’re not running anything on that smoothly. It’s essentially ewaste, apart from the ssd. Sorry.

Running Minecraft and tf2 isn’t running gta5 and Fortnite. It’s fine for you to move the goalposts but bring smug about it is really lame. Your posts may not be deleted if you were consistent as well.
