I've unplugged the 2 top fans but left the lights working and spun the back fan around so it's pushing the air out. He's opened it this morning and he's chuffed to bits with it but I'm having trouble getting Fortnite working on it. I've installed it but getting a error message dx11 feature level 10 is required to run this engine I've had a lot around the internet and it's either the graphics card isn't capable of running it or windows needs updating. I'm just in the process of installing 220 windows updates. Is there a work around to get this running? The graphics card is a ati Radeon hd 3600

To be able to run the game you are going to need a DX11 compatible card. If you are using the system that you go from here with the 3570k processor it should have HD4000 graphics build in. This is DX11 compatible and will run it, albeit very poorly as it is the minimum recommended by the developers. To do this you would need to disable the graphics card and run the system off of the motherboards graphics connectors. Pretty much safe to say you'd be better acquiring a new card in the long run. |

I thought that would be the case. I might try the graphics on the mother board just to get him started and to get him off my case 😂 what's a basic graphics card to get him going ?

https://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer...graphics-cards Any of these would be suitable as a basic card, it is pretty much the same price as the normal 1650 so its worth getting it. https://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer...graphics-cards These are a bit more powerful and will run things more smoothly. Again the super is pretty much the same price as the normal. https://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer...graphics-cards These would be the upper end of this range before moving into RTX cards, probably won't require something this powerful. https://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer...graphics-cards These would be great alternative from the red camp as it is a bit more expensive than the 1650 super and less than the 1660 super and sits inbetween the two.

My local pc shop has got Palit GTX1650 StormX, 4GB DDR5, DVI, HDMI, 1665MHz Clock, Compact Design for £160 is that any good ? If I'm honest I haven't got a clue about all the super etc

The super is basically a refresh of the cards, bit more powerful for pretty much the same price. It is worth getting over the normal card. |

Just tried to use the vga on the motherboard but it doesn't seem to be working. I disabled the onboard graphics card although it still works but a poor quality but when I choose vga on the monitor it doesn't display any thing. Why can't anything be simple 😞

You might need to go into the motherboard BIOS to enable the CPU onboard graphics (some disable them once an external card is plugged in). Also like mentioned before the drivers for them might be way out of data, it is a 3000 series CPU which is at least 7 years old...

I've enabled the on board graphics on bois and got it to work tried Fortnite and it worked although a bit laggy. Finished updating all the windows updates now I'm getting an error message when trying to run fornite about the graphics card not being supported. I'm just going to order a new graphics card.
This is the one I'm going to order off scan is there anything else I should know about before ordering? Will it be compatible with my motherboard ? I don't really want any more surprises if im honest Palit NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6GB StormX Turing Graphics Card |

8 pin would look something like this Your current card will be plugged into the PCI-E slot, a long slot should be the highest one up the board. Just looking back at the spec of PC you got from muff, the system will almost be identical to the one I am running albeit a better card. Therefore it will run even current games very well.

I remember seeing a few pci power supply's spare when I put it all into the new case. The motherboard is a msi h77ma-g43 will that be ok ? Also it's got windows 7 installed but think I'm going to order a bigger ssd as with Fortnite and windows on its took up all the space so was thinking of putting windows 10 on or should I stick with windows 7?

Now I've come across another problem got the graphics card and new ssd today so loaded them both into the case and put in the windows 10 bootable usb stick i nade yesterday. Turned the computer on and went through the few start up pages of the installation process now when I go to select the ssd to install to it says a driver is missing for the hard drive. I can see the ssd in the startup screen when you first turn the computer on and in bois. Am I missing something here ?

The hard drive wouldn't appear at all so I went out and got another sata cable to use the 240gb as storage then put the os on the 120gb. The 120gb wouldn't let me install the os on it but the 240gb showed up when both was connected. Installed the os on the 240gb then formatted the 120gb to use for extra storage. So it's all up and running now thank god. Thanks for the help guys 👍
