I’ve done this a few times now and felt I wasted some people’s time. I apologize. Original budget was $750 total so, I decided to start slowly ordering things and researching current builds. I know how to build a PC but,haven’t done so in almost a decade. I made a few orders for parts and my budget grew over time. I have the AIO, CPU, RAM, MOBO, and a SSD mVNE 2.0 -I know I made mistakes but, I can’t return anything at this point. I just want to build a solid rig now. I’ve been piecing this together for too long and I’m lost on remaining parts. I now have the $1000 left to spend and I will be ordering as soon as a build makes sense. Preferably in the next 12 hours.

Parts I currently have: Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, aSRock B570m PRO4 (micro ATX, it was a mistake to get this but, I’ve got it), 1x 512GB XPG RGB SSD (don’t need more storage), 32gb (2x 16gb) Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM, and a Corsair H100i AIO.


Budget: $1000
More specific use (what games, what programs): using this as a PS4 replacement. I exclusively play Fortnite but, interested in maybe some cod however it won’t be competitive . Goal here is high FPS (240+ if possible on 1080 with the parts I have.
Planned time until purchase: today/tomo
Do you need an Operating System?: no
Do you have any specific preferred components?: see above for parts I already have.
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: no WiFi but, yes if I need a sound card?
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: MILD overclocking but, not until I see how this B570m pro4 does
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: no
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 93104

NOTE: it’s essentially a console replacement for competitive Fort and an HTPC - bonus points for being able to utilize my 65” Samsung curved tv but, totally unnecessary.

Editing now didn’t mean to post

What is your monitor

TBD for 240Hz but, currently have an Asus 144hz 1080 monitor

144hz not good enough...?

Aye it’s fine, honestly it’ll be a time before I care. I just want what I think will be an uber fluid feeling of uber high FPS?

Shit just changed tho - the micro MoBo order refund was accepted.

I have now ordered an MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX ATX MOBO

You wont notice the difference but youll be able to tell your friend you have a big dick 240hz panel

That’s fair to say, I’ve heard that. I just want to be sure I’m not wanting for anything. I think I’m leaning in the Same direction as you but, the building in Fortnite on 240 vs 120 feels different. Fact, 120+ feels amazing and 240 feels amazing - it’s just different. No noticeable advantage. HOWEVER, I didn’t want to get used to 120 and then try 240 and have to upgrade. I talked to a buddy and he said “bruh 150 is doable for half your budget, just buy the rig you can and make your goal ‘higher than 120’ — hell dude, save some money, why not?”

I’m with you and him. I’m open to sub 240, just want high frames
