Q: How good does Fortnite play on this
A: I don't play Fortnite, but if I'm able to play Overwatch on ultra, you can definitely play Fortnite. Trust me.
Q: How many RAM slots does this have, and how many are used when you buy it?
A: This model has 2 DDR4 slots. It has 1x8gb card preinstalled.
A: So ive seen an official HP answer above on this 690 as well as another computer in this hp pavilion gaming computer (with the same external casing) on best buy that had another HP answer that say you can exchange it. But im hearing is that you can't. I honestly dont know how you can. HP is being very shady about this. I opened up the case myself and measured the PSU. Its 2.8125 x 2.9375 x 6.25 inch or 71.4375 x 74.6125 x 158.75 mm. So not only is this PSU NOT standard but proprietary. ALSO, the motherboard seems to be proprietary as well and must be replaced too. NOW HP...lets see what you say about the above.. I was really happy with this product but because you can't upgrade it fully, I'll probably be returning this product.
A: Yes, upgrading the memory would solve the issue. We apologize that the original configuration was not strong enough!! Your system can support up to 32G of RAM, Type DDR4-2666, with speed PC4-21300 MB/s. Adding an additional 8G card of this type would be perfect, or you can do two 16G cards of this type.
Q: Can this pc run dual monitor
A: Yes, this computer will easily support dual monitors!
Q: is this the 8Gb version of the rx580 or the 4 gb
A: This one uses the 4GB version of the RX 580
Q: Is this computer good for Twitch streaming while playing games like Overwatch or Rainbow?
A: Yes, this computer has more than enough power for those games. It only has the minimum required for Twitch, so you might occasionally experience lag (depending on your internet connection and other external factors), but for the most part it will run just fine.
Q: How far can you upgrade the processor?
A: It supports a TDP of up to 65w. Currently the top processor would be the AMD Ryzen7-2700
