What budget PC parts should I look at for 150 FPS in Fortnite?

A used Ryzen 5 5600 with a used RX 5700 XT is one combination worth pricing out. An RX 6600 is another card to look for if the 5700 XT is hard to find. Add 16 GB of RAM as two 8 GB sticks, ideally DDR4-3200 or faster.

A budget B450 board can work, but check that its BIOS supports the 5600. For the power supply, look at a reputable 550W or 650W model and check reviews of the specific unit, not just the brand. You'll still need to budget for a case and storage.

Don't assume any of these parts guarantees a locked 150 FPS. Fortnite settings and rendering modes matter, so look for recent benchmarks that show the exact settings you want, including frame drops.

For a more new-parts-focused build, price an Intel i5-12400F, an Intel Arc B570 and 16 GB of DDR4-3200 in two sticks. An i5 should be plenty for this kind of budget build. Check motherboard compatibility and Fortnite benchmarks for that GPU before buying.

Another option is a Ryzen 5 7500F with the B570 and DDR5-5600 to DDR5-6000. That gives you a newer platform to consider for upgrades, but compare the total cost of the CPU, board and RAM. A good local bundle could make a difference.

Used graphics cards are worth a look at this budget. I'd compare a used RTX 3060 or 3060 Ti against the older GTX 1660 Super and RTX 2060 rather than assuming the oldest cards are the best deal.

Prices and condition matter more than a model name on its own. Check recent Fortnite benchmarks at your settings, and make sure the card fits the case and has the power connectors it needs.

If you're comfortable with a less conventional build, a used full-size business tower plus a used RX 6600 XT is another route to price out. Check the case clearance, power supply connections and whether the machine can actually take the card before buying anything.

That route may limit future upgrades compared with choosing your own motherboard and case, so weigh the savings against what you want to replace later.
