I mean, your hardware is quite dated. Though Fortnite isnt an overly hard game, but the frames you have listed seem about right for the hardware listed. I would highly recommend you save up to do a platform upgrade.

RAM would be DDR3 for Sandy Bridge platforms so you might want to find a second hand 8GB stick. 8GB is alright, but you'll soon run into limitations once you start pushing the system hard. I wouldn't bother with a new cooler if it's just the regular 2600 and not a K series part. Though you won't be doing much overclocking if any on a P series chipset. 

 

Perhaps get a more recent GPU, throw in a SSD and that thing would keep up for a few more years.

Not bottlenecking, just old. If you want to breath some new life into that system grab a cheap Hyper 212 for $25 to let it run at 3.4ghz, grab a 1060 3gb or a used 970 and go to town. It'll be a great 1080p gaming system.
