You should be able to play Fortnite with pretty much any PC built in the last five years or more.

If you were going to actually play with these minimum specifications, you can probably expect to play Fortnite at around 30 frames per second at 720p resolutions on the lowest setting — not the most ideal, but it goes to show you don’t ned a ton to play this game.
