I currently have a i5 6500, GA-H110N, 16gb of 2400 ram, and no GPU. I'm looking to play Fortnite on low settings with 240fps consistently. Is it possible with the CPU bottleneck and if so what card should I go for?
 
I would go with a good freesync capable monitor, if going with the 5700xt. Your experience should be quite smooth, even during times of lower FPS. 144hz, at either res, is plenty.

got the Dell s2719dgf, so far so good but some things aren't playing nice with each other as I'm getting BSOD. GPU has been consistent at 60% 80°c and CPU at 30% with current settings but somehow it still happens.... Cant get obs to work, tried streaming on ReLive and it works great except it crashes everything randomly.

Did a windows reinstall and the problems persist... I'll have to spend more time on finding the issue
 
What was the make/model, of your power supply?
seasonic focus ssr 650fm 80 plus gold

after a few hours of tinkering not one crash, everything is smooth as can be. will work on the fan curve, voltage and little things later in the week.

possibly the problem was the 5700xt sensors... it wasnt registering on adrenaline or msi afterburner but now it's there

I have a Ryzen 5 2600/1660 ti gpu and I play on low settings. I can get 200 fps consistently and even higher if I overclocked I'm sure, I hope this helps you out.

Thanks, I did upgrade already. ryzen 5 3600, 5700xt running 160fps in 1440p... epic viewing. medium texture, medium effects, the rest off... chapter 2 has some bugs but I'm pretty consistent
