the 10600 and a 3080 shouldn't have trouble in fortnite. i would check for fixes before buying new equipment.

I7-13700K would make a great upgrade.
Fortnite relies heavily on single-thread performance.
Check the CPU-Z benchmark on your 10600.
You should achieve a single-thread score around 508:

The 13700K should reach approximately 864.
You might also spot the newer I7-14700K for a comparable cost.
It offers a marginally stronger turbo boost (5.6 vs. 5.4)
Avoid getting caught by the 25$ discount on a processor with a F suffix.
Having integrated graphics can assist during testing or if a GPU problem arises. A solid backup.
Modern chips usually include default turbo boost for several cores beyond what an all-core overclock can achieve.
On the motherboard, you could opt for B760 or Z790.
Motherboards based on DDR4 tend to be more affordable.
B760 boards generally cost under $150.
Z790 will start around $200.
B760, especially in the MATX size, will be more budget-friendly.
Unless you require over 32GB of RAM, stick with a 32GB DDR4 unit.
Differences in performance for DDR5 are minimal.
You can maintain your cooler—it’s one of the top choices.
Noctua will provide a complimentary LGA1700 mounting kit.
The NH-U12A with an NSPR of 169 is more than sufficient.

Gaming doesn’t demand as many threads, which means less heat generation.

I tried various methods but it didn't work. I turned on the resizable bar, checked CPU and GPU in MSI Afterburner, and everything looked fine. Scanned my PC for malware or trojans. Removed DX12 and high resolution textures from Fortnite. Put the game in the lowest settings and tried again. I believe the main cause of these spikes and input delays is a bottleneck.

Fortnite is quite CPU intensive, and having a 3070ti with an Intel Core i9-12900k gives me a FPS of over 300, which is great.
Benchmarks show my single-thread score is 512.4.
Thanks for your assistance—do you think a D5 motherboard is worth the cost?
I’m planning to overclock and need the Z chips.
Also, a friend has an LGA1700 air cooler kit that isn’t Noctua’s, but can I use it? Or should I get the Noctua version?

You should purchase the one from Noctua. They also offer them on online stores for faster delivery if needed.

Is your recent performance good or has it always been this way?
If it’s been lately, what could have caused the change?
Your 10600 score of 514 is just average and not particularly low.
Are there any other applications that might be affecting it?
Maybe streaming services or Discord are causing issues.
Applications like nvidia experience or HP printer drivers could interfere with updates.
Are there any BIOS updates that improve CPU performance?
Unless you’re on a tight budget, I’d recommend a Z790 DDR4 motherboard.
Not the most affordable option, but definitely not the priciest.
You now have 32gb of DDR4 RAM, which is sufficient.
The main reason to switch to DDR5 would be if you require more than 32gb of RAM.
Otherwise, your current DDR4 setup with faster DDR5 would work just fine.
Noctua will provide a free LGA1700 upgrade kit for your NH-U12A:
https://noctua.at/en/webforms/form/preview/id/44
Or you can purchase one on Amazon for around $10.
Make sure to read the Noctua form carefully to ensure you get the right kit.
The availability may vary depending on the cooler you have.
