    One last tip if you are building the pc yourself. You will probably have to enter the BIOS to change a few settings when you first fire up the new computer. The way to enter the BIOS varies between board manufacturers, but will generally require you to tap the Delete or F8 key. This is impossible with a USB keyboard, which you will undoubtedly have.

    The reason for this is the USB keyboard requires drivers to be loaded before it will work, and this happens after you need to tap Delete or F8.
    I find the easiest way to solve this is to press and hold the power button for a couple of seconds instead of just pressing it. If you hold it too long the pc will just shut down, no big deal, try again. There are other ways, but for me, this is the easiest.

    Or if you know someone who has an old PS2 keyboard, the ones with the round purple plug, you could borrow that. I doubt many people have one that still works though. I think you can get USB to ps2 adapters but probably best to use my method above.
    EDIT: I should add this has nothing to do with Playstations!
    Never had a problem with my USB keyboard setting up bud.

    I think you have misunderstood me. There shouldn't be a problem with USB, the problem is IF you need to access the BIOS for any reason. As the USB drivers are loaded after the initial boot you will not be able to access the BIOS by clicking any USB keys as the keyboard will not work. This can also happen if you have Fast Boot enabled. That's another topic though

    That explains why he says the fps in fortnite needs uptown 60fps and he often drops below that. Its wired to an old Panasonic flatscreen dinosaur. I thought it was probably it. So it would be the wifi or the HD in the playstation if its bunged or overloaded. He hoping for a wireless keyboard and mouse but reading through what you said I'd probably need to insert a usb keyboard to pick up the driver which I recall happening with my own pc.
    Thanks for your replies mate I appreciate the input. Daunting at the start with all the parts
