ASUS ROG Maximus XII Extreme - LGA 1200, Intel Z490, E-ATX
HyperX Fury RGB - 4x, 16GB, DDR4-3466, DIMM 288

given the current spec and fortnite recommended spec (much lower requirements than you have) the upgrades you suggest would just be a waste of money.
a RTX 3080 would be at most all you need (with a new 750w psu) if you can get hold of one.
Thank you so the reason because the game is not fluid with RTX ON is the graphic card?

Will I need to change the monitor?
ASUS Gaming VG279QM (27", 1920 x 1080)

Thank you

this is a reply I got on another forum: "a 3080 for Fortnite at 1080p resolution is utter madness"
They say the problem must be something else.
