Hi there. I work with an older laptop and Unreal Engine, but it is, though. I saved 6k and wanted to buy a computer, that can handle UE 5. I work on a battle royale in an 3D environment. Is there a Computer you can recommend ? I also would need a Computer screen etc. Is this even possible?
Wish you a nice day.
buy a box don’t buy yourself a laptop you can always stream to your old laptop from a new box

buy all pieces around between ebay amazon and various company 2 hours whit a good screwdriver are enough
This is needed:
This is what I would buy (sry the site is in german but you should understand the important parts):
this
It would cost around 6,5k with windows 11, a monitor and some minor improvments. Is this a good deal?
When I originally saw this thread I wondered whether these were rubles, dollars or yen. It’s Euro.
Is this a good deal?
The components in the PC are worth around 3.5k-4k euro were you to buy them separately. Eyeballing it. So you’re paying 2k for the assembly. It’s up to you whether it’s worth.

in the end it is a puzzle for adults to assemble a computer have fun
if you live near my house they I will assemble it for free hahah
6000£ show PC
Can’t recommend the setup if you own small animals as pets and they roam around.

there are alot off local computer stores that do custom builds with $ 200 mounting weight
just go there with all the parts (having heard the parts serial numbers before taking everything to the shop) no one can be trusted today
That’s awesome — with $6K saved, you can definitely build or buy a machine that runs Unreal Engine 5 smoothly. UE5 is demanding, but with the right parts you’ll get great performance.
For UE5, the most important components are:
GPU — This matters the most for real-time rendering.
CPU — Handles compilation, simulations, and overall performance.
RAM — 32 GB is a good sweet spot for UE5 workflows.
Fast storage — NVMe SSDs make load times and shader compilation much better.
A good target spec for smooth UE5 work would be something like:
-
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4080 / 4090 or AMD RX 7900 XT/XTX
-
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X / Intel i9-13900K or better
-
RAM: 32–64 GB DDR5
-
Storage: 1 TB NVMe SSD + optional extra drive
-
PSU & cooling: 80+ Gold PSU and good cooling
With $6K, you could either build a high-end PC with these parts or look at prebuilt workstations if you prefer ready-to-go setups.
If you share whether you want to build it yourself or buy prebuilt, and what you’ll mainly use UE5 for (gaming, real-time visuals, cinematic rendering), I can suggest exact parts and prices that fit your budget.
