I’m putting together my first PC for my birthday and could really use some guidance. I started researching, but I’m still a bit lost. Here’s what I need help with:
– Is my build compatible?
– What’s a good, affordable case that would fit my setup?
– Are any of the components not great?
– How many FPS can I expect to get in Fortnite on all low settings?
– Can I run multiple monitors?
– How hard is it to actually build this thing?

With a Ryzen 5500, I’d recommend sticking with a stock cooler. You can save some cash for more storage or maybe upgrading to a better motherboard. If you think you’ll need it, consider getting more RAM too, depending on what you’ll use the PC for!
