Hey folks! I'm thinking about upgrading my PC and I'm considering these specs:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-9700
- GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5060
- RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series (XMP) DDR4 32GB (2x16GB)
My goal is to run Fortnite competitively, especially for ranked matches, endgames, cash cups, and tournaments. I want to know how well this setup can achieve over 200 FPS, particularly while streaming at 720p 60fps without any stutters. Any insights on whether I'll be able to perform well with this rig?

The Intel i7-9700 might hold you back a bit since competitive games like Fortnite often rely heavily on the CPU. I would also suggest reconsidering the RTX 5060; you could get the RX 9060XT 16GB instead, which is a better deal and offers better performance. Check out this balanced build I found: [PCPartPicker Build](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/h44TTM) for some ideas!
I’ve heard good things about the XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT. Anyone have experience with it?
I’m worried about GPU fitment as well, since I have an iBuyPower case with limited space. How should I check if 3 fans will fit my setup?
