christian.b2 · Mar 20, 2018

i have got $1000AUD saved up want to play most games max settings at 1080P over 60fps, want the PC black but don't mind blue. Kind of want Intel due to being a bit of blue but don't mind AMD thank you

Something like this, it doesn't include an OS. It's over budget but I think it's worth the 6GB model of the GTX 1060 instead of the 3GB model. You can maybe wait for the cheaper motherboards from Intel to hit the market, should be soon.

Here is a guide right for that https://pcmasterracebuilds.com/the-best-800-dollar-budget-gaming-pc-build/

Here is a build https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/6qkQV6
with OS it is slightly above a thousand, but if you have a windows licence you can use, you are still within budget.

Here are some fortnite bechmarks with the 1050ti I included http://www.userbenchmark.com/PCGame/FPS-Estimates-Fortnite/3954/188434.0.0.1080p.0

and the 1060 6gb in volkgren´s build http://www.userbenchmark.com/PCGame/FPS-Estimates-Fortnite/3954/153864.0.0.1080p.0

So the answer is yes, both rigs can do it. The one I suggested is more responsible and loads maps faster thanks to the ssd, delivers 70-80 frames in Fortnite. volkgren´s that I already upvoted gives you 120 frames per second, even 60 in AAA titles but comes with an ordinary HDD.

Usually you install the operating system and your games on your SSD and store movies, photos and documents on the HDD. You are welcome!
