I'm considering upgrading my gaming setup and I'm looking at these PC specs: Ryzen 5 5500, RTX 5050, 16GB DDR4 RAM, A520 motherboard, and a 750-watt power supply. I mainly play Fortnite and a bit of Minecraft. I'm moving from a PS4/PS5 since my brother keeps taking it to his house every couple of weeks. What do you think?

It's hard to say without knowing the price, but overall these specs should perform well for Fortnite and Minecraft. Just keep that in mind when shopping around!
Yep, just keep an eye on your total budget of $800-1100 CAD, and make sure it's worth it!
If you're a younger gamer, this should work fine, especially since Fortnite and Minecraft aren't super demanding. It sounds like you're on a budget similar to what you'd spend on another PS5, so it's a decent choice if that's the case.
Honestly, that's a bit on the lower end for a new system. I'd suggest looking into a Ryzen 5600 or a B550 motherboard with an RTX 5060 or RX 9060 for better performance, but if the budget is tight, you can still run those games pretty well with what you have.
