Hey everyone! I'm considering upgrading my PC with the following specs and I want to know how well it will perform in Fortnite, especially in competitive settings like ranked matches, endgames, cash cups, and tournaments. Here's what I'm planning to get:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-9700
- GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5060
- RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series (XMP) DDR4 32GB (2x16GB)
I'd also like to do some streaming at 720p 60fps. Ideally, I'm aiming for over 200fps while playing on performance mode and I want to avoid any stutters. What do you think?

I think the i7-9700 might not be the best CPU for competitive Fortnite; the game can really push CPU limits under heavy settings. Also, I'd recommend skipping the RTX 5060 since you could get much better performance with something like the 9060XT 16GB, which is only a bit more expensive. Check out this well-balanced build I found online!
But I’m not sure if a GPU with 3 fans will fit in my case. I've got an iBuyPower i-Series R148A654. Any thoughts?

Is the XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition a good alternative for better performance?
