Overspending on the gpu, you can spend 50$ less and get the same performance. You're just paying for the asus name.

 

I'd also recommend getting a larger SSD, look into an MX500? Swap the power supply to a CX550M

This is a great 1080p gaming computer but if you are just playing fortnite I wouldn't spend that much on the gpu.

First run, given it's Canada and I don't know the soft spots in the market there. A little room for improvement on PSU and more memory.

I would look for a GTX 1060 3Gb on the used market for less. Or maybe a 970.
