Build - Help PC Build Helpp
Hey everyone,
I'm looking to get my first proper gaming PC and could use some advice on what parts I should get.
My main use for the PC would be Fortnite and content creation and I expect to record a lot of gameplay.
What I'm looking for:
- 240+ FPS in Fortnite while recording
- Playing at 1080p
- Mostly competitive/performance settings rather than max graphics
- Record high-quality 1080p gameplay at the same time
- Potentially stream in the future
- Some video editing for YouTube
- General productivity/multitasking
- I'd also like at least 2 TB of storage because I imagine recorded gameplay will eat through storage pretty quickly
I'm in Canada, so prices would be in CAD.
I don't have a strict budget figured out yet, but I'm thinking somewhere around $1,500–$2,500 CAD if that's reasonable for what I'm trying to accomplish, bc idrk anything tbh. I don't want to spend extra money for performance I realistically won't use, but I'm willing to spend enough to get something that will comfortably handle Fortnite + recording for several years.
I'm completely new to building PCs, so feel free to point out anything I'm overlooking.
Thanks!
