Hey everyone! I'm looking for some feedback on my PC specs: I've got a 4060 8GB graphics card, a Ryzen 5 5500 CPU, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and both a 1TB and a 256GB SSD. I purchased it for £689.99 from Amazon. My goal is to comfortably run Fortnite at around 240 frames per second and play some lighter games like Valorant and Counter-Strike. Do you think this setup is a decent choice, or am I facing a bottleneck with these components?

Looks like a solid setup overall! A little pricey for a year ago's standards, but given the current market, it could be decent. Just be prepared that talking about bottlenecks can get pretty creative, haha.
The 5600 CPU is quite a good bargain and would fit your needs nicely. Upgrading to 32GB RAM would be wise if you plan on multitasking. Also, an RTX 3060 would provide a great boost, letting you run most games at ultra settings without issue.
Is this a prebuilt or did you assemble it? If it's prebuilt, I'd say consider your upgrades carefully.
To hit those 240 FPS, you might need to bump up your CPU. Consider a Ryzen 5500X3D or something better, plus maybe a 32GB RAM setup since Fortnite can be a memory hog on lower settings. It’ll get you to about 200 FPS easily at 1080p.
Yeah, prices have definitely gone wild lately, and prebuilt might just be the easiest option for now.
