I played fortnite with all settings low except viewing distance (epic), using my campus gaming computer equipped with an i7 8700k and 1080ti. It maintains a steady 240fps on a 244hz monitor. Can I still achieve similar performance with a lower tier cpu and gpu, like an i5 and anything below 1080ti?

1600x and Vega 56 are capable of achieving 240 frames per second using those configurations.

The computer maintains stable performance by generating fps well above 240, eliminating lag in gaming when matched with a 240hz monitor. Would the i5 9600k perform similarly without hyper threading?

if a 1600x works, i'd assume the 9600k would be able to handle it too.
i stick with the same configuration while gaming, keeping fps at 240 for consistency.

Budget and Country? I can assemble a build list that would work if the funds permit it.

I mean... from my experience, Fortnite is quite demanding on the CPU. But 240hz/fps doesn't really matter for 99.99%.

I'm not trying to be rude, but Luke has a point. 240hz doesn't really matter much. Linus even made a video with a top CSGO player using one of his staff members. Both said they didn't notice any visual difference. 144hz appears identical and offers smoother performance. You can achieve high frames with lower quality components, but if I'm being realistic, I'd recommend selling the monitor and buying a reliable 144hz model for better results.

I think I need to stick with Intel processors and NVIDIA GPUs since that's what I'm more used to. I just wonder if maybe my campus computers are a bit too much, and I could find a more affordable alternative.
I'm moving towards more competitive environments. For instance, with shadow off, the FPS improves a lot.
And for me, yes, 240fps really makes a big difference in Fortnite competitions.
I've tried it, and it's tough to go back.

If you think it helps or you notice a difference that's cool, well, guess what.
Intel and budget options shouldn't usually appear together unless it's highlighting that Intel lacks strong budget choices compared to AMD.
Keep going with Ryzen CPUs right now. The Nvidia GPU prices aren't bad these days, but if you're looking to save, stick with AMD.
I'm not as comfortable with the new Zen 2 CPUs yet, but the folks in this thread can definitely guide you on making the best decisions for your needs.

You didn't give me a budget or country so here's this. (Like I said I can do a more budget oriented build if you give it to me.)
Ryzen is the best way to go right now, the Ryzen 5 3600 is pretty much on par with the 8700k and is $160 less. Ryzen 3000 is incredible and that's coming from someone who was an Intel guy up until  Zen+ dropped. If I didn't have a good build an was looking to build one right now, I would 100% go Ryzen, Intel just can't beat it with it's price to performance.
