So.. My computer originally had a 60Hz monitor, and im buying a 144Hz one. But when I had the 60Hz one, i got 40-50 (sometimes 60, but rare) fps when i play fortnite. It was twitchy and stuff. Would getting a 144Hz monitor make my gameplay smoother? Would I get more fps? My reaction time would be quicker because of the monitor, but i dont really know please help me out on this.
[SOLVED] I need help knowing what to do.

Welcome to the forums.
in the order asked.
no
no
not without further upgrades
if your computer can only draw 40-50 FPS as it is now changing the monitor will not help but add to the demand. 144Hz is 144FPS and if you cannot deliver 144HZ will not help you, you may need to upgrade the CPU and/or the GPU to feed the new monitor. as it stands you cannot feed the 60Hz screen you had

Well it got to 60, and it felt fine at 60, it just wouldn't really stay. I also went to my local bestbuy and like all of the employees said buying it would max out my pc and i would get like 80 fps. (Possibly). Because of its reaction time, wouldnt it still make it smoother? its literally x2 better than the 60hz.

it is capable of displaying twice as much, but it cannot because the other parts are only capable of 40-50.
think of it like a showerhead. you have this huge showerhead like they use for elephants at the zoo, but the issue is the water line is as thin as a straw. to even feel the water you would need a hose much thicker.
the showerhead is the monitor and the straw is the CPU and GPU as it stands now. its just a question of volume/FPS.
if the situation were reversed and you were rendering 170 FPS then the monitor would work just as you want it to, capable of displaying all the extra information being generated.

there is a program that can help its called CPUid it can be downloaded from cpuid.com.
its small and when you run it you can click across the tabs for information on the parts.
the power supply can be accessed by removing the side panel and looking at the label on the side. if you need a power hungry GPU the PSU may need an upgrade to feed it.

Okay.. Now im basically considering getting a brand new computer. IS it possible if you could somehow calulate how much fps on fortnite I'd get with this? I know it says it on there, but i dont know it its true. https://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Intel-Archer-EZB101

For the price, that PC looks like a ripoff, it only has 8 gigs of ram and not even in dual channel, amongst other things... what’s your budget? You said $600-$700 but then asked about a $879 PC

With the right settings, hitting/maintaining 144fps isn’t out of the ballpark.

Video is quite old and seeing as I don’t play the game, can’t tell you if performance has changed much since then. I think you’d be fine at low settings.

sorry been busy. I do not suggest Ibuypower PC or Cyberpower PC at all. most will need upgrades from the factory to ensure longevity. poor PSU's for a primary example.
is building or upgrading the system you have now be an option? you never listed your specs. your current system may need one or two parts to bring it up to spec.
what are your specs now?

Well.. I have a CyberPower PC right now. And Im not at the house with the computer that im replacing. Im doing this off a smaller computer, as im not at the house containing my gaming computer. Im asking other people, and they said I might as well just upgrade the PC itself.
Ok, slow down - not everyone is online here all the time.
But, we need to know the full details of what you have currently in order to proceed.
In addition to the full PC specs you have now, the brand and exact model number of your current monitor would also be helpful.
