Investing in a new gaming PC may cost a lot, especially if you want a powerful machine that can run games at 4K resolution and high refresh rates. There are many options out there, and while we usually make our choices based on MSRP, gaming desktops are unique in that you can make one from scratch. However, that requires in-depth knowledge on a gaming PC's components and the patience to hunt for parts piece by piece, not to mention putting them all together. So that you won't have to go through that hassle, we've found the best gaming PC deals that you can take advantage of to simplify matters.
Best for Entry-Level: Lenovo LOQ Tower

If you're looking for the cheapest gaming PC that's still a viable gaming PC, then the Lenovo LOQ Tower is an excellent option. It comes with an RTX 3050, which is entry-level but should handle most free-to-play games just fine, as well as older games from the past few years at 60Hz on lower graphical settings. It also comes with a mid-range Intel Core i5-13400F CPU that's fine for gaming and productivity work, and the 16GB of DDR4 RAM is a surprisingly large amount for this price point and will give you a solid day-to-day experience.

The question then becomes if you have any power to solve this issue yourself or if you're forced to wait until Epic Games addresses it on its end.
Can you fix the servers not responding error in Fortnite?

The first thing to do when encountering this error in Fortnite is to go straight to the Epic Games Help website or X account (formerly Twitter). This will let you know if it is something on Epic Games' end that is the issue and also keep you updated on the status of when the servers are expected to be fixed. Servers can also be taken down for maintenance or in preparation for major updates, which will also be accounted for here. If this is the case, there's nothing to do but wait until they announce the servers are back up and running.
