Stuttering in gaming

[iceandfire29072000]

Hi everyone, I been trying so hard to play fortnite but the game keeps stuttering. Here is my build
GTX 1050 2GB
4gb RAM DDR4 HyperX
Intel Pentium G4560 3.5GHz
500GB Western Digital HHD
The game would run smoothly, GPU usage 40%, temperature 44C, CPU usage 34%, CPU temperature 43C. No problem there, but usually, the screen will freeze for a few secs and I will get killed. I have seen a 200$ laptop running fortnite without any stuttering but why is my 600$ build got this problem. I try everything, lowering fps limit, lowering setting (the more setting, the higher the GPU usage but the stuttering won't stop). The only thing i can figure out was the CPU, I check with can I run its website and it said the CPU doesn't reach the minimum. But what I was told was the GPU is what important, so I just don't know what to do now.
Edit 1: Turn out the pc memory is always at 95% while playing fortnite, don't know if that will affect anything. It's a 4gb memory.

more ram is needed, that 95% you are seeing probably hits a 100% as well and the end result is the stuttering that you see. try lowering your resolution settings until you get at 4 more gb of ram, try 720p if you have to, just to get it running smoothly. the 1050 is not the problem nor do i think its your cpu. I just think you'll have a hard time running high settings at 1080p at the moment.

Recommended System Requirements:
Nvidia GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7870 equivalent DX11 GPU.
2 GB VRAM.
Core i5 2.8 Ghz.
8 GB RAM.
Windows 7/8/10 64-bit.

Thank you so much norcalsc, I been having this issue for months but today I post it online which is a awesome decision. I dont know what the problem is, think of buying a 120gb SSD, new CPU and such. Thank

No problem I've been there

Long before mem hits 95% windows starts hitting the page file for virtual memory,if you only have the HDD that you listed then windows will use that as virtual memory and mechanical hard drives are super slow compared to memory,I doubt that changing your settings will help,close down anything you can before playing to save mem, that's all you can do for now.
