Want a Cheap PC Build

I had to hire an intern at my office and built the cheapest PC I could for him. I did my research when I built it so I doubt you'll find cheaper.

I played Fornite with him at the office and turns out, it'll run on lowest settings (with view distance and texture on medium) at 1080p at around 70-80fps in average.

Another $100 will get you a much better GPU and a SSD.

It's a little bit over your budget but I had to take a PC case with a design that fits the office. But I think they have one on PC Part Picker for 10$ cheaper.

For Windows 10, I bought an OEM license for 4$ on Ebay. 100% legit.

You need to be careful about one thing though with this build. It includes a 2nd Gen Ryzen CPU and the Mobo is an A320, which is for 1st Gen CPUs. It only works if the motherboard BIOS version is update to version 4.80 or higher. I didn't know this but I got lucky and the one that I received was "Ryzen 2nd Gen Ready"

Hope you like it :)

No, so AB350 is actualy a B350 motherboard.
A320 =1st Gen (they don't have 2nd Gen version of A320)
B350 = 1st Gen
B450 = 2nd Gen

So for the A320 and B350. If the motherboard is uodated to the lastest version, you can use a 2nd Gen CPU.

So you have 2 choicez:
1. You need to find a 1st Gen CPU to make the uograde and then you can install the R3 2200G.
2. Message the seller and ask if they sell a "Ryzen 2nd Gen" ready version, which is what I received.

Hang on, hang on..... I think some people missed this.

If you ALREADY have RAM, a Skylake CPU, a motherboard, and a GT 1030, then, assuming you don't have these other parts already, you just need a case, power supply, keyboard, and mouse.

Do you have all that already? Is it not able to run Fortnite?

Don't spend on things you don't need - it sounds like you have most of a system already.

It's a bit outdated however you could replace the PSU and put a 1030/1050 into it.
