Do you know how much money it is to get a pc that can run Apex at good FPS?

Absolute minimum budget?

I'd go with an ex-business machine, bought from a PC recycler.

Target spec. should be something like a ~3.5GHz quad core 3rd or 4th gen i5, i7, or xeon.

They'll typically come with 16GB ddr3 1600, 350W PSU, and a modest hard drive.

Make sure you go for one with a full height case though; half-height will restrict your GPU options & end up costing you more money.

Ideally you'll also want it to have a proper ATX PSU & motherboard, not bespoke setups from the likes of Dell, Fujitsu, or others.

As a base, that'll typically set you back around £80-100 (though I've seen them go as low as £30)

Stick in a 2nd-hand 1060 3GB, or RX 570 4GB bought from ebay for circa £80.

For a huge performance uplift in day-to-day usage I'd also put in a 240GB SSD boot drive; for £20 it's a no-brainer.

Total outlay; ~£130-200.

I'm obviously not including peripherals like a gaming monitor, headphones, keyboard, mouse, etc.

It won't be a perfect gaming experience, but at min detail it'll get you more frames than an xbox one, at proper 1080p.

More importantly you won't be playing at a crippling field of view, or having to use a ham-fisted controller.

If you're willing to opt for 2nd-hand hardware, PC gaming can be significantly cheaper than console; especially when you factor in the lower cost of actually buying the games.
