I'm considering investing CAD 1800 in a gaming PC specifically for Fortnite, but I'm not sure if that's a reasonable price or if it's more than I actually need. Here are the specs:
- CPU: Intel i5-13600KF
- GPU: ASUS RTX 5070 PRIME (brand new, warranty until 2029)
- Motherboard: MSI B760 Gaming Plus WiFi (LGA1700)
- RAM: 32GB Patriot Viper DDR5 6000MHz
- Storage: 512GB SSD + 2TB HDD
- Cooling: Thermalright Frozen Notte ARGB AIO
- PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 750W (80+ Gold, ATX 3.0)
- Case: Thermaltake V250 TG ARGB ATX Mid Tower
- Fans: Lian Li UNI FAN modular fans
Can someone help me determine if this setup is actually worth the price for playing Fortnite?

Honestly, $1800 seems a bit steep for this setup, especially since it’s used. I mean, you only get 512GB SSD, which isn’t much these days. For that price, I’d expect to see at least an RTX 5070 Ti or a 9070 XT. Plus, the LGA 1700 platform isn’t the most future-proof unless you’re happy with the current specs for a while. Just my two cents!
Every build I’ve checked around that price either has a worse GPU or CPU, which makes this one stand out in terms of performance. That’s why I’m seriously considering it!
