Hello, everyone.
I will come out straight, i want to build a pc pretty cheap and at least be able to run fortnite even at low to lower settings.
Any suggestions for processor and gpu?
And also, will a gt 710 1gb and processor core 2 duo 8500 work for life is strange 2 and fortnite?
 


Not even close to enough fro fortnite. Whats the max budget?
 
If you are looking at dirt cheap, intel chips (i5,i7,xeon e3 v2) from the ivy bridge platform are reasonable on ebay + 1050ti or gt 1030, and used ddr3 is cheap. Used graphics aren't really worth it because since pascal the entry level ones are beating out the older mid-high tier ones. Don't risk buying a graphics card that has been used for mining. the gt 710 is 4x slower than the gt 1030. the 1050ti is twice as fast as the 1030.
 
It depends where you are of course but the usual cheapest gaming pc is an older pre-built, like a Dell, that you then upgrade with a videocard. The total cost will be the price of that computer plus the cost of the videocard. But you will have everything you need. The downside is you have to be careful in your choices. You want a mini tower, not a small form factor(SFF) or desktop(DT)case. You want to make sure it uses a standard power supply so if you have to replace it you can buy a new one. You want to make sure the motherboard uses standard power supply connectors, otherwise even if a normal power supply fits you still might not be able to use it.

If you think you're going to play Fortnite with a GT 710 I think you shouldn't buy anything until you do a little more research about what game system requirements mean. You can't just pick the cheapest of anything and think you can run games on it, it doesn't work like that. With PC gaming, the individual games all have their own requirements. Some games require a lot, some games don't. Since you know what games you want to play, look into what kind of components it takes to run them.

The GT 520 is actually slower than the HD 4000 minimum requirement.

Why XBOX ONE?
If you calculate the price you will spend thousands of INR just for ONLINE and for the GAMES.
You must pay for multiplayer to play online games on XBOX and PS4 and those games are also overpriced.
What is your budget and i can find for you a pretty good used/new pc parts to build your own pc.
