Solution
- You need to specify exactly which model of core2duo you have
- When you say editing, does that mean that you will use the video card to edit (e.g. Photoshop)?
On average, a system like yours should support a gtx 1050Ti.

Take into consideration that core2duo and 4Gb of RAM is not adequately powerful for both fortnite and Photoshop, so don't expect much. Depending on the CPU you have,you can chose a gtx1050 2gb, or gtx1050Ti 4gb

'best one' is relative. Depending on what you want to do and your budget, the 'best one' could be a ThreadRipper 1950X, an i9-7960X, a Ryzen 2700X, i7-8700k or something else.

If you can budget ~$200 for a new CPU, then your main choices would be between the i5-8400 and Ryzen 2600(X). For photoshop and movie editing, 16GB of DDR4 would be ideal for comfort and that's another ~$180. On the motherboard side of thing, plan for another ~$100 for a basic motherboard or ~$150 if you want to go with something fancier. So you are looking at ~$500 for a solid CPU+MoBo+RAM combo.

Given infinite budget, I'd always build entirely new. But you are still hanging onto a 10+ years old system, which implies that you have an extremely limited if not nonexistent budget to work with. That's why Sky is asked you how much you are willing to spend and why I gave a rough example of what you could get for ~$500 which is a typical upper-mid range budget for a CPU-MoBo-RAM combo.

Photoshop, playing movies/streams and most of what would fall in the "etc." category do not require any specific hardware. Gaming will require a GPU (or even non-gaming if using a Ryzen 1xxx or 2600+) and those range from $80 for a low-end current-gen GPU to $7000 for high-end compute/AI-centric cards. For most people, the gaming GPU sweet spot is in the $200-300 range, which can buy you a GTX1060 in either 3GB or 6GB flavor.

You should be able to reuse your existing computer case, HDD/SSD and other stuff.
