The sexy fortnite e-sports mini PC
Here is the composition

[link to i.imgur.com (secure)]


Here is a video of someone using a similar setup with a 9400f and gtx 1660ti - Note the settings in the video though, without those settings (antialiasing off - shadows off) you won't be able to always keep around 240fps required to max the potential of the 240hz monitor. Game looks great still with antialiasing off and shadows off



The RAM in the composition above is slightly faster though, being 2666mhz CL 15-15-15-35 vs his 2400mhz CL16, so it might even be a little bit faster than the video suggests.



I picked the ASUS monitor because it specifically states g-sync compatible, but there are two other contenders like the

Alienware AW2518HF - Does not state G-sync compatible explicitly but is known to work with G-sync as well according to reports. Some report issues however which the ASUS might also have. Not sure if those issues would also to be found on more expensive native G-sync monitors

[link to www.newegg.com (secure)]


Finally, there is the way more expensive Benq XL2546
No G-sync or Freesync but has something called "Dynamic Accuracy" which helps a lot with keeping track of fast moving targets.

[link to www.newegg.com (secure)]


Those are all top pick monitors for competitive e-sport, making it hard to decide which one to pick.



Also, soon there will be 2560x1440p 240hz monitors with 0.5ms response time on the market, sporting some new panels, like this one

supposed to come out april/this spring


But you are looking at around $1k and you would need at least a rtx 2070 to drive to get close to 240fps or above at all times.
In which case, this tiny sexy aluminum case would not be suitable, as it does not offer enough ventilation.

The gtx 1660ti gpu combined with the 9400f cpu draw around 180w-200w power when maxed. Combined with the rest of the components, you are looking at 220-250w max which is the perfect efficiency spot for the 450w power supply and small enough for this case to be able to draw out the heat.

You might have to flip the fan to draw air in, instead of moving it out as there is no fan drawing air in and the power supply unit already pulls air out.

Oh, before i forget...

The mouse was a gift, not a choice of mine.

It's impossible to suggest a good e-sports mouse as it depends on too many factors, like hand size, how you grip it etc.

But once you find that mouse that is right for you, you better get a few because nothing is worse than getting your muscle memory used to a specific mouse and then having that mouse discontinue.

Another most important thing is to always have the same seating position that is most comfortable for you. You want to avoid any changes that screw up your muscle memory which includes keeping your mouse and mouse pad always clean before you start a session, so the mouse always glides the same.

Can you name someone who uses xbox one for competitive esport gaming in fortnite?

Honest question but i don't think you can connect a 240hz monitor to the xbox one and get around 240fps at 1080p with it. Maybe i am wrong because it actually does have the horsepower to pull it off but i think it lacks the settings.

That's mostly Greek to me. My tv displays xbox at 2160p.

Could be the youtube, but the gameplay I see is much more fluid, renders more clearly at farther distance. What I'm seeing, it's not all youtube, that pc is bogging down still.

I couldn't go back to a keyboard and mouse now.

Maybe you were just doing the video, but you jumped way too soon to get where you went. :) A treasure map and you didn't track it down?

You make far more XP in Team Rumble!

A question I have is ... How much game modding can PC users do? I mean like advantages, cheats. Some of these players are either bots, or highly modded. No human is that good on their own.

Targeting sucks in Fortnite. And it doesn't make me feel like shooting up a mosque.

Ever try WoT?

Not my video. The reason i checked the video was in order to find out what kind of composition would suffice to drive a 240hz monitor with antialiasing and shadows off which is what most competitive players set anyway.

As for cheating, i am pretty sure some are using bots for aiming but there are also a lot of players which are so good, you confuse them for bots.

Without a mouse and keyboard however, you can never reach a highly competitive e-sports level. Just not possible.
You don't have to however if you enjoy the game the way you play it.
I enjoy the competition and don't care about if i lose or win the game. However, i hate lag in any multiplayer game and every millisecond i can cut off by either a better internet connection or choosing the right hardware i jump right onto because it is just more fun when you are close to the action without delays.

Lag sucks for sure. WoT is the only game with lag on xbox, it's not a game feature like on PC, but it happens. I think their servers are subpar.

I don't even know how Fortnite plays on a keyboard, but I know my WoT is far better with the xbox controller. Has to be similar, multi-axis movement and targeting.

Bots - You can be in the most complex hiding spot ever, and the bot knows exactly where are. With no searching, no hesitation, walks right to your location and you're a one-shot. If you don't thank the bus driver, the bots put you on their shitlist! ;)

Of course skill matters but when you want to get to the highest levels, everyone has skill and then it is the small things that matter like if you are able to shoot 10ms earlier than your equally skilled opponent with the same reaction time

Not really, it is refreshingly new.

You won't get far by just being accurate and having fast reflexes in fortnite.

The building part of fortnite is more important. I know because in BF4 i am usually top of the list while in fortnite i just cannot compete with people who know how to build up proper defenses.
A good builder can take out the whole server solo.

The building part requires quite some brain power to master. Top fortnite players probably have some of the highest IQ.

The cheapest solution which would be able to drive a 240hz monitor still

[link to i.imgur.com (secure)]

head over to microcenter and get this motherboard $80, $50 after $30 off when bought together with a ryzen 5 1600

[link to www.microcenter.com (secure)]

and a ryzen 5 1600 6 cores 12 threads CPU with a turbo at 3.6ghz for $80

total $130 + whatever taxes ~ $140-150



While not the top choice as the 9400f, the ryzen 5 1600 will be enough in most games to not become the limit of the gtx 1660.

The total cost of the system without the monitor would be $500.


The case is as ugly but you don't have to look at it.



Do i get 5 stars now?

When we are talking playing against equally skilled players however, you won't beat professional players like Ninja in fortnite with your low end 60hz gaming PC when he uses his alienware 240hz monitor with proper hardware to drive it nor will any other professional player beat him(most of the times) if he were to use a 60hz monitor.
