I'm currently using an Intel i5 11400f along with 16GB of 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM and an RTX 2060. I'm looking to upgrade my CPU with a budget of around $270, without needing to switch to DDR5 RAM since that's too expensive for me right now. Any recommendations?

Before you choose a new CPU, what motherboard do you currently have? Knowing that could help narrow down the best options for you.
You might want to look into upgrading to an i7-11700, which should fit well within your budget and work with your existing DDR4 RAM. However, if you're mainly focused on Fortnite, consider that upgrading your GPU could also yield significant performance benefits.
That’s true, but Fortnite can be quite CPU-intensive. Upgrading your CPU could provide a smoother experience, right?
I had the same thought! An i7 upgrade might serve you better in CPU-heavy situations.
