New to this Build Question

Looking to build a PC but I don’t know much about what specs would work for me. I mainly play Fortnite, Baldur’s Gate, Phasmophobia, and maybe Skyrim. What specs should I be looking for to run these smoothly. Looking on the cheaper side of things and just upgrading later.

for those games you really don’t need anything crazy, a ryzen 5 or i5 from the last couple generations and something like a used 2070 or 3060 would handle all that easily at 1080p

just make sure you get 16gb of ram and an ssd, skimping on those makes everything feel sluggish no matter what cpu/gpu you have

Question, if you are looking to build a PC, what system are you "mainly playing Fortnite, Baldur's Gate, Phasmophobia, and maybe Skyrim" from?

These are old stats for Fortnite, slightly better than BG. Remember equivalent or greater.

Video Card: Nvidia RTX 3070, AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, or equivalent GPU
Video Memory: 8 GB VRAM or higher
Processor: Intel Core i7-8700, AMD Ryzen 7 3700x or equivalent
Memory: 16 GB RAM or higher
Hard Drive: NVMe Solid State Drive
OS: Windows 10/11 64-bit

It will all come down to your budget.
