So im upgrading my gpu, but will it run fortnite?

[noahbigger77]

So i found my old desktop and i plan on upgrading it, it has a Pentium E5800 with 3gb of ddr3 ram, i plan on adding 1 gb of ram and adding a GT 1030 to it, but i dont know how well the cpu can handle fortnite. So my question pretty much is, Would this be able to run fortnite?

Yes, I just recently helped someone with almost the same exact situation you are:

Just make sure you open the side panel of the case and the check inside if you have the PCI-e slot and space to accommodate a dedicated GPU.

Min requirement is I3 2.4ghz

shows yours is much weaker.
What is your budget on upgrading? Can you list all components? Which country?

My budget is around 100-130 dollars. Im from the Us and the computer is currently running a Intel Pentium E5800 with 3gb ddr3 ram and it says its running a Intel GMA x4500 graphics, which i think is integrated.

I will save more and try to upgrade CPU first.

Yup it's not great but it's still dual core with a decent clock frequency.
Getting a decent GPU will offset and make up for the performance. I saw someone playing Fortnite on youtube with the same CPU and GT 1030 and they are getting over 60fps I'm trying to find it again.

Here is someone running with a weaker E5700 CPU and GTX 650 which is 50% slower than GT 1030:
