144hz Gaming setup

[gidonfranks]

Budget (including currency): 1,200$

Country: Israel

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Fortnite 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

I want a 144hz set up (Gaming PC + monitor), i dont know much about pc's so any help would be handy thanks. 

 

Edit: if anyone can list all the things they recommend that can really help out thanks

Most pc's in that budget range can easily run fortnite at 200+ fps on competitive settings. Id probably get a cheap gpu for now because of the shortage. (get a gtx1650 ti, gtx1050 ti, or rx 570. Any of those gpus will work for the short term and will run fortnite at highish fps as long as you use competitive settings.

i don't think competitive settings are necessary, fortnite runs pretty smoothly on the 1650 ti

I have the i5-10400f, which is 6c12t, and a 2060, and can comfortably play at 1440p running Fortnite at 144fps (and over, but I cap it to match my monitor). 

 

It's a mid tier cpu and gpu (at best) and it can manage it easily.

 

Unfortunately, it's a very difficult time to be in the market for components as prices are all over the place.

I have, Gidon.

 

My cpu is the i5 10400f, my gpu is the rtx 2060, 16gb RAM.

 

I think these are the only ones that are really relevant for gaming, unless I'm mistaken. 

 

It's certainly not high end, obviously - but it's mid tier(ish) and allows me to play all the newest games at a respectable fps in 1440p.
