I think the OPs budget (inc. monitor) is around £1500-1700. So choose carefully @Martinr36
Is this a good enough build fortnite

1500 - 1700 is for my pc. I will be spending a additional 200 - 300 for my monitor.

I think the monitor is on there with that price but I had to take the monitor off because it wasn’t 240hz
This is where I would go mate, I'd also get my keyboard/mouse/etc elsewhere
This is a good 1440p build. It would crush 1080p if you decided to go that direction but I'd personally recommend 1440p for it
I wouldn't bother with 240Hz but you seem set on it for some reason, I don't understand why. All I can say is don't bother but you seem like you wont listen

, good one matejakebralee

So how much fps do you think I would get with that build on 1440p. Also do I need 2 ssd drives?
I have a similar build and messing with settings have had every game run at 144FPS. Most I can simply max out and have it run at 144FPS but a few I've had a lower a few settings to a mix of high/ultra
Reason for two SSD's is to have a dedicated boot drive. This is to ensure the operating system can run at it's optimal speeds at all times, the idea is to keep this drive no more than 50% full and it will keep the OS running really sharp and quick
The second drive is for the rest of your storage. Fill this up to your hearts content

We love you Ukraine
FPS isn't really relevant over 120hz, you're missing what's being said, it doesn't offer any benefit because you won't see it. 1080p at any refresh rate is poor by today's standards.
You WILL notice a substantial improvement from going 1440p though.

Isn’t a 3600mhz ram better than a 3200mhz, also do I need a 850w power supply
Martinr36
MOST VALUED CONTRIBUTOR
Due to the different latency of the ram supplied by PCS, there is little performance difference between 3200 & 3600, the reason for the 850W PSU is to give good headroom for future upgrades, most of the time these days I actually spec the 1000W

Also did you use a better motherboard

And will I have no problems with over heating or loud fans with this set up
Martinr36
MOST VALUED CONTRIBUTOR
No, you shouldn't have, you would have done in your original spec

What was the reasoning behind changing the processor cooling
The Frostflows are generic parts and aren't really tried or tested too well. The Hyper 212 is a very well received CPU cooler which will do the job no problem at all for a fairly cheap cost
Martinr36
MOST VALUED CONTRIBUTOR
The case in your original build would have contributed to poor cooling, and therefore the fans having to ramp up, and then you'd probably have got throttling leading to poor performance

So basically have gave me a better build than what I had before wether I go for 1080p or 1440p?
