# Best PC for Apex Legends in 2026

Reviewed 12 August 2026 · FixFix Labs build desk

— The short answer

Apex Legends is CPU-sensitive and rewards high, stable frame rates for 144–240Hz play. A fast modern CPU with a mid-range RTX 4060-class GPU is suitable for high-refresh play at 1080p or 1440p. Prioritise CPU and a high-refresh monitor. A FixFixLabs build starts around £850.

— Hardware priorities

## What actually matters for Apex Legends

Apex responds well to a fast CPU for steady high frame rates; a mid-range GPU is sufficient at 1080p/1440p competitive settings. Put budget into CPU and a high-refresh display rather than a flagship card.

1.  01 CPU-sensitive for stable high frame rates. 
2.  02 Mid-range GPU is enough at competitive settings. 
3.  03 144–240Hz monitor is the key pairing. 
4.  04 Good value high-refresh build.

— Build questions

## Apex Legends PC — frequently asked questions

### Is Apex Legends CPU or GPU bound?

CPU-sensitive at competitive settings. A fast processor is what keeps frame rates stable in busy end-game fights; a mid-range graphics card is enough at 1080p and 1440p.

### What frame rate should I aim for?

Choose a target that matches your monitor: high-refresh for general competitive play, or very high refresh for a faster display. Treat the configuration as a starting point because patches, settings and fights change the result.

### Do I need 32GB of RAM?

16GB is fine for Apex alone. 32GB is worth it if you stream, keep a browser open, or play other more memory-hungry games on the same machine.

### Can you build an Apex Legends PC in the UK?

Yes. FixFixLabs specs, builds and warranties custom competitive machines in the UK. Tell us your budget and monitor refresh rate and we'll send an itemised parts list within 24 hours.
