The Foundation is ideal for anyone who wants the most affordable genuine route into a Windows 11 gaming PC, especially fans of Minecraft, Roblox, Rocket League and Valorant. It is a great first PC, with the option to add a dedicated graphics card later for more demanding titles. 🎮 Can this PC run Fortnite? Yes, Fortnite is playable on this build, though we would set honest expectations here. Expect low settings and roughly 30 to 45fps, with the built in graphics working harder than in the other titles above. For a smoother Fortnite experience, this is exactly the kind of title where adding a dedicated graphics card later would make the biggest difference. 🔧 How do I upgrade this PC later? The 500W power supply already has spare PCIe power ready to go, so you can add a dedicated graphics card such as a GTX 1650, GTX 1660 or GTX 1660 Super at any time without needing to upgrade the power supply first. 🎮 Are the refurbished parts reliable?
