        Fortnite. This is the error I get when I try to download the game.

            as it stands, your PC does don’t meet the minimal requirements to play that game, is basically what that error message is telling you.

            SO… you need to find what are the graphic card requirements for Fortnite and what graphics card your PC has.
            as well as a new grap[hics card, your processor may also be too old/slow to cope, but again, it all depends on the min specs of the game.

                Right, thanks for that info.

                I’d like to know if I could buy extra parts, like RAM or a Graphics Cards so that I can at least meet the minimum requirements foe that game.

                    based on @phillpower2 link, Fortnite needs at least a Intel Core i3, you only have a Pentium D.
                    so another upgrade there. but doing that will force an upgrade of the motherboard due to architecture changes which in turn will require new memory. this is starting to add up.

                      Hi Athabeyra.

                      You will need not only a video card upgrade, but most likely a faster CPU and more than 1.25 GB’s of RAM which is what your machine has. Its looking like you may need a new computer but please post your computer’s full specifications in your next reply so we can see what motherboard your computer has.

                        this may help get all your PC specs into one listing for us.

                        get Speccy from here; Speccy - Download Builds
                        in Speccy, click File > Publish Snapshot > Copy to Clipboard > Close.
                        now you can paste(Ctrl+V) that link into a post.
