I'm looking to build a new PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and I'm having a tough time deciding which GPU would be the best match for playing Fortnite. Any recommendations based on my setup?

Do you play other games too? For just Fortnite, you might not need a super powerful graphics card. Also, what refresh rate and resolution are you aiming for?
Your choice really hinges on your resolution and refresh rate. Fortnite isn't too demanding, so most GPUs should handle it just fine!
For Fortnite, the recommended minimum is a GTX 960, but it’s outdated now. I’d recommend at least an RTX 2060, if not something newer, like an RX 7600 or RTX 4060. If you plan to play other games or want higher framerates/resolutions, budget is key!
It really depends on your budget. If you're going for the 7800X3D, I'd suggest the 9070 XT or the 5070 Ti. They should work well together!
Is the 5070 Ti really good though? I've heard some mixed reviews about it.
You could go with either the 4070 super or the 5070 Ti. The 9070 or 5060 Ti are also solid picks. It all comes down to what you're willing to spend.
For 1080p Fortnite, I’d check out options like the Arc B580, 9060 XT 16GB, or 5060 Ti 16GB. If you can stretch your budget a bit, maybe even the 9070. You can pair that with either a 7600X or a 9600X, depending on the price at the time. Total build could range from $850 to $1200.
I'm using a BenQ Zowie XL2546X, a 1080p monitor, and I usually run Fortnite on low settings.
