Best Gaming PC for Fortnite – The Guide

Fortnite is one of those rare games that has become a cultural phenomenon, and while the absolutely unprecedented heights of the game’s popularity might be in the past it’s still without a shadow of a doubt one of the most popular games on the planet. Millions of gamers hop on that bus every single week to try and get the coveted Victory Royale so if you want to best all those rivals you’ll want to make sure you’re performing at your best.

You can have all the skills in the world but if your gear doesn’t allow you to use those skills to their fullest potential you’ll inevitably run into a couple of barriers along the way. In order to eliminate those barriers it’s important that you’ve got a good gaming PC that can run Fortnite without any hiccups. If we look at our analyzed professionals, for example, we can see that 99% are using a system (plus monitor of course) that’s capable of  running and displaying at least 144 frames per second. The advantages of running a game such as Fortnite at higher framerates have been known for a long time, so if you’re even a little bit serious about the game we absolutely recommend going for that goal.

That’s where we come in. We’re well aware of the fact that it can be difficult to see the forest for the trees if you’re trying to build your own PC, doubly so if you’ve got a certain budget to stick to. We’ve been taking a look at the game’s requirements and what’s out there at this point in time and have come up with this list. We’ve got three builds: one ‘all out’ 240Hz build, one 144Hz build, and then one budget build so that you can get a great idea of what you need to build your own system. If you’re not much of a builder we also offer three prebuilt systems to match our configurations.
