Fortnite, the worldwide battle royale sensation, doesn't take a powerhouse desktop rig to run at a high framerate, but pre-built desktop PCs usually come at a premium price due to the convenience. Thanks to Black Friday, though, this HP Pavilion gaming desktop is seriously discounted, and it has the guts to deliver a solid 1080p gaming experience. If you're looking to slay in Fortnite or other popular games, this is a great PC pick.
