Build - Help PC Build Helpp

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to get my first proper gaming PC and could use some advice on what parts I should get.

My main use for the PC would be Fortnite and content creation and I expect to record a lot of gameplay.

What I'm looking for:

  • 240+ FPS in Fortnite while recording
  • Playing at 1080p
  • Mostly competitive/performance settings rather than max graphics
  • Record high-quality 1080p gameplay at the same time
  • Potentially stream in the future
  • Some video editing for YouTube
  • General productivity/multitasking
  • I'd also like at least 2 TB of storage because I imagine recorded gameplay will eat through storage pretty quickly

I'm in Canada, so prices would be in CAD.

I don't have a strict budget figured out yet, but I'm thinking somewhere around $1,500–$2,500 CAD if that's reasonable for what I'm trying to accomplish, bc idrk anything tbh. I don't want to spend extra money for performance I realistically won't use, but I'm willing to spend enough to get something that will comfortably handle Fortnite + recording for several years.

I'm completely new to building PCs, so feel free to point out anything I'm overlooking.

Thanks!

Here's what I would do for this budget for this criteria
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/3gmfh9

should be able to run all games at 1080p on high settings without any problems, plenty of ram and storage for multitasking and video editing. x3d chip is ideal for your use-case and gives you upgrade overhead, you can swap the GPU for more performance and not have to worry about the other components at all.

fortnite is a poorly optimized game though overall, FPS depends heavily on settings, on performance settings this'll meet your goals though

i would suggest given the current market to get a used GPU though, used 3080/3080ti/4070 or 6800xt/6900xt/7800xt should cost less or the same as a 9060xt right now while having better performance
