What upgrades would help this PC run Roblox and Fortnite better?
Asked by

My son wants to upgrade his current computer mainly for games like Roblox and Fortnite. The system currently has an Intel Core i5-6400 running at 2.7 GHz, 16 GB of DDR4 memory, a 3 TB hard drive, and integrated Intel HD 530 graphics. What would be the best upgrades, and what should I prioritize based on my budget?
Answers
The biggest limitation is the integrated Intel HD 530 graphics. A dedicated graphics card would make the largest difference for both games. The i5-6400 and 16 GB of RAM should be adequate for an entry-level gaming setup, but the exact card depends on the power supply, case space, and upgrade budget. Adding a SATA SSD for Windows and the games would also make loading and general use feel much faster.

MellowPine42: I don’t have a specific upgrade budget yet, so I’ll check the power supply and case before choosing a graphics card.
