Hey everyone! I've finally saved up enough to build my first PC, and I'm focused on making sure it runs Fortnite smoothly at 240 FPS on the lowest settings. Graphics aren't a priority for me; I just want to minimize latency and maximize frames per second. The problem is, I really don't know much about PCs at all. I've been doing some research today about the best CPUs and GPUs that would give me great performance in Fortnite, since I know it relies heavily on the CPU.
I've put together a rough outline of the components I want to use, but I'm unsure if they're all compatible with each other. Also, I picked a motherboard without much knowledge, so I might have chosen one that doesn't work well with my CPU and GPU selection.
Here's the link to the parts I'm considering: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YqngYd](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YqngYd). I would really appreciate any critiques on my CPU and GPU choices, as well as recommendations for other components like memory, storage, and a compatible motherboard. If my selected parts won't even work for what I'm aiming for, please let me know! Thanks a lot!

I think I might have a better build for you! Check this out: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rdZTv4](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rdZTv4). If you go for cheaper options on parts like RAM, motherboard, and SSD, you could free up some budget to get a better CPU and GPU. While this suggested build is roughly $100 more than yours, if your budget is around $1750, you could upgrade to the 7800X3D CPU, which would really improve performance. Just a heads-up, I wouldn’t recommend a stock cooler with that.
Thanks for sharing that alternative link! I’m eager to check it out and see how it stacks up against my build.
