Why This Build for Fortnite

At the $800 budget, the RTX 4060 is the best-performing graphics card that clears a smooth 60 FPS floor in Fortnite at 1080p without blowing the budget — our data has it averaging 180 FPS. The rest of the build is balanced around it so the GPU is never bottlenecked at this resolution.

Memory, storage, and the power supply are sized for headroom, so this is a platform you can upgrade later rather than replace. Want more frames or higher settings? Compare the other budget tiers below.
