What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

Playing Fortnite, and doing some light internet browsing. That’s about it
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

400$
When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

Within the next week or two
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

Tower only
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you’re in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?
-
USA – Utah……Don’t know what a Microcenter is
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

None
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
-
I don’t know what this means
Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)
-
From what I’ve read, SSD would be nice, but not an absolute must. I just want to run Fortnite as good or better than my Xbox One, and the smaller I could make everything, the better.
Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?
-
Don’t have a preference on any of this
Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?
-
No
All I want is something that can handle Fortnite better than my Xbox one so I don’t have to deal with input lag or anything like that that comes with playing on a console. I don’t know if any of this is even possible within my budget, but I figured this was a good place to start. I am very new to all this, I know next to nothing about computers.
