Would this be an ideal spec to work with for gaming, streaming and have it last a good few months before any upgrades?
Looking at an investment here, as I'm sick of my PS4 lol

Thank you <3

Hi there,

The spec isn't ideal I'm afraid, it's got a weak motherboard, RAM, cooler and PSU among other areas. I know that we can spec you something better.

To help us spec something more appropriate please could you let us know your budget, and the monitor you are pairing this with (make and model or resolution and refresh rate) and we can spec something to fit those requirements.

Hey! thanks for your response.

Budget is around £1400, the monitor I'm getting (exc. from budget price) is AOC 24G2 23.8" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor.

For those purposes and that budget, here's what I'd personally suggest. Save a bit on the CPU and graphics card, and make an overall stronger build out of it.

If you can find an extra £75, a CPU upgrade to the 5700X would be perfectly worthwhile.

Apologies, I got distracted after the initial post. Build from @sck451 is great though, makes the most of your budget. Upgrading to the 5700X CPU would be ideal but as Fortnite isn’t massively demanding sticking with the 5600X should be fine as well.
