With the monitor we’re at almost 2100, where can we save and is this all compatible

Honestly just about any decent machine will handle Fortnite with ease so you could probably spend half that and still build a decent machine for Fortnite.

That said, the system listed is a nice build and one that's future proof more demanding games. You might consider building it not just for Fortnite, but other stuff.

Again, any decent system can handle Fortnite so from that perspective the specs listed above is over kill. But if you want something future proof and powerful that system is a nice place to start.

Anyway the only suggestion I have (based on the assumption of an OS drive) is to get a 512gig SSD drive, and put the extra money towards a 2TB or more HDD drive for games and other data. The only real difference between putting games on an SSD drive vs. HDD drive is faster load times. The other thing you could do, though it's more money, is again, go with a 515gig SSD for the OS, and a 1TB SSD for games and data.

I just don't see an OS drive needing a 1TB SSD drive. I've got multiple SSD drives in my system with the OS drive being a 512gig SSD drive and my other SSD drives holding other data. The OS drive houses all the OS's native files and folders - Documents, Pictures, Music, Downloads, while the data that my go into those folders is placed on the other drives - Gaming, Music, Photo, Misc. Data.

My two cents.

You need to change your Motherboard or CPU. You have an Intel CPU and an AMD Motherboard. You need a Z390 Motherboard for that CPU.

Other than that, you have a good rig which will play almost anything for a long time.

Good catch Steve. I missed that one since I basically just scanned the specs.

Yes, either change the motherboard to an Intel based board (Z390) or the processor to an AMD based one.

Thanks guys, yes it’s for the future not only fortnite so we wanna spend once, is their in any places where I can save money ?

What’s missing In this rig for everything to work

I can't find a power supply listed. As far as I can tell, everything needed is there, other than the PSU.

I would consider this one, EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 220-G2-0850-XR 80+ GOLD 850W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply - Newegg.com

+1 on EVGA power supplies. I've got two and am happy with them.
