I'm mostly having problems in fortnite but will getting the i5 9400f affect other games as well. And yes i am getting a new motherboard, a non gaming one but i made sure it was suitable for the i5 9400f

If you prefer intel, have you look at intel 10th gen i5 10400 (6 cores, 12 threads) instead i5 9400f (6 cores, 6 threads)? 10th gen CPU will require motherboard socket 1200

If on a budget, I'd look hard at the gaming benchmarks of R5-3600, occasionally as low as $167 these days....; I'd be happier with 12 threads over only 6, and more confident of sufficient minimum FPS for future games. (Oddly enough, the R3-3300X at only $120 almost matches the R5-3600 in gaming, despite having only four cores and 8 threads...)

That's because the 3300x is a 4/8 on Steroids and the 3600 is chomping only on Protein bars.

Once games really start using 6-10 threads instead of the 4-8 threads they do now, the 3300x will be taking a bigger backseat. Kinda like what happened to the instantly popular Pentium G3258, did awesome at first on games like CSGO, then GTA V killed it almost overnite. I figure maybe 3 years and the R3 will be sitting on the bench right next to the G3258, watching the world pass it by.
