[SOLVED] Could it run fortnite and discord at the same time? and watch youtube videos smoothly too

Does it depend on cpu? or ram?
My future specs:
GTX 1060 3Gb
8gb Ram
1Tb HDD
Intel i3 8350k 4.00ghz

Depends on CPU mostly, RAM also. If you want to multi-task it would be better to go with Ryzen 5 2600 instead of teh i3-8350K.

For youtube , it depends on quality. But below 1080p it would be good, but expect perfomance hit.

For that, you will as many CPU threads as you can get. Get yourself a ryzen 5 2600 $160 which offers 6c/12t, 3 times the threads of that core I3. You could get a first gen ryzen 7 1700 $180 8c/16t for a little more money, however, that would be overkill, and the slightly slower clocks may not be beneficial in games if you upgrade your GPU later. 170 can get you a more powerful chip than that i3 8350k. Plus, a b350 or b450 $75ish motherboard for ryzen would be all u would need. Yesterday Newegg had a ryzen 7 1700x for $149.99, which i should have bought to replace my Ryzen 3 1200 (a $90 processor that has the same cores and threads as that I3, and overclocks to the same speed...)

If you haven't bought anything yet, then 4 cores/4 threads should not be under consideration. That Intel is an overclocking CPU, so if you wanted to get into overclocking but couldn't afford a more expensive Intel CPU then that's the one to get. Otherwise cross it off your list.

You want to multitask. You want to run games AND do other stuff. So 4 cores/8 threads or 6 cores/6 threads should be the minimum you consider. Going by Newegg prices you can get a Ryzen 5 2600 for less than that Intel. At Newegg the Intel i5 6 cores are over $200 right now so I wouldn't consider them, however if you prefer Intel then that would be your alternative.
