I'm currently running a GTX 1660 Super and a Ryzen 5 3600, averaging around 140 FPS in Fortnite, but occasionally dipping to 100. I'm looking to find out which upgrade would give me the most "bang for my buck" to achieve a stable 165 FPS on my 165Hz monitor. Should I prioritize upgrading my CPU or GPU?

If you're looking for a solid upgrade, I suggest going for the GPU first. It tends to give you the biggest performance boost for gaming, especially with Fortnite. After that, you can think about a CPU upgrade later on.
Honestly, if you're playing in performance mode at 1080p, you should be seeing over 200 FPS. You might want to check your settings or look into other optimizations before diving into upgrades.
A 5700X CPU would be a good choice, but I actually recommend considering the 5600 or 5600X for almost the same performance in games at a lower price point. That way, you can save some cash without sacrificing too much. For a GPU, a 9060 XT would also be solid.
For a killer setup specifically for Fortnite, go for the 9070 XT and a 9950X3D. Anything less, and you might not be able to tap into your full potential during gameplay.
