I plan on building a pc this summer and my budget is around 800-900. Any suggestions for parts, that could run fortnite battle royale on epic settings, 1080p, with around 70-80 fps?

The build i have in plan is
i5 8400
Gigabyte b360m hd3
Gtx 1060 6gb
Corsair - Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2666 Memory
EVGA - BQ 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power SupplyCan

Can this run fortnite at 1080p, all epic, 70-80fps?
Any better suggestions?

SSD is a must have. Its better with samsung 970 pro, but the price is a bit too much. Standard SSD is good enough. If you need more space for storage, get an extra HDD.

Why ryzen 1600, instead of 2600? The motherboard might need to get upgraded first before can be used for 2600. Sometimes this is a hussle process which beginner might have problem with. Sometimes the main problem it has to have an older cpu for update purpose only before it can be used for the newer cpu, silly but this happens previously in intel product. I do not wish to bring up problem, therefore suggesting 1600 instead. Its cheaper and it will perform nicely against i5-8400.

This amd build should satisfy you, and has room for future gpu upgrade when GTX 1060 cannot uphold future game, Ryzen 5 1600 should still be efficient when you upgrade the gpu similar to GTX 1080Ti class in the future.

AMD has 6 core 12 thread (some lucky guy get 8 core 16 threads), intel i5 8400 has 6 core 6 thread. Does thread useful? well the answer a bit long and my "over simplified" answer might enraged some expert but I explain it in my own way anyway. 2016 is the start of the game revolution as the game maker were "forced" to use more than 4 thread (yeah, before 2016, games were only optimized for 4 thread). The normal common term is "i5 killer" since at that time i5 only have 4 core. Then again until Q1 2018, I only see 6 thread or less optimized game, above 6 thread is very rarely seen. Now the question is, will you risking your build with i5 that only has 6 thread? For me, its safer go with Ryzen 5 1600 or go directly to i7. $100 upgrade to i7 will put you in longer safe. Why? look at those owner of i7 before 2016, they have no problem since they have 8 thread.

Good luck

Ah i already answered your additional question, but I put it again.

i5 will get more fps, they always do, but not at hurting level.

i copied and paste it again here, this is a decision that decide your 4 year pc build.

AMD has 6 core 12 thread (some lucky guy get 8 core 16 threads), intel i5 8400 has 6 core 6 thread. Does thread useful? well the answer a bit long and my "over simplified" answer might enraged some expert but I explain it in my own way anyway. 2016 is the start of the game revolution as the game maker were "forced" to use more than 4 thread (yeah, before 2016, games were only optimized for 4 thread).

Its $90 over your budget, but its a long term safe net. You will have no worries about AMD inefficiency, and free from future "i5 6 thread killer"

2 questions, should i pay in extra $30 for an 8700k, and maybe get 8gb of ram, just a hdd, and better mob because current one can only support up to ram speeds 2666? and second, will the 1060 bottle neck an 8700/8700k

yes, you can get DDR4-2400 which is $10 cheaper, but I strongly suggest you not using 2666 as the CL might make it slower. 2400 has better CL, this is why i recommended the 3000 instead the $2 cheaper 2666. In the past, I happen to found a higher clock ram, when work in lower clock, might get better CL. I was hoping in your case the motherboard might get the 3000 work as 2666 with better CL 14. Well its a $2 gamble. The 2400 has CL14, where the 2666 and 3000 has CL16. Lower CL is better.

and no, you should not get the 8700K, the motherboard are not meant for overclock, so it just useless.

The 1060 will bottle neck the 8700. I did mention you can still upgrade in the future until 1080Ti class or even better depending on the game maker. I also mentioned that the game maker is the one that too lazy to make the game optimized for multi threaded.
