This marks my initial contribution. I've been utilizing a personal computer assembled in 2018, and while the hardware configuration appears adequate, I consistently experience significant frame rate reductions and interruptions within Fortnite. The game frequently dips below 30 frames per second, occurring every one to three seconds, rendering gameplay frustrating. My display is set to 144Hz resolution with a capped output of 144fps. When running without restrictions, I achieve approximately 250-350 fps in creative modes; however, this fluctuates and can occasionally decrease below 60 fps. Numerous troubleshooting steps have been undertaken, and I seek assistance from the community as Epic Games support has proven ineffective.

System Details:
Processor: Ryzen 5 2600x
Graphics Card: GTX 1060 6GB
Motherboard: ASRock AB350M Pro4
Memory: 16GB DDR4
Power Supply Unit: 600W

Video recordings are available if required.

What are the processor and graphics card temperatures alongside their resource consumption while playing games?
Additionally, could you detail the utilization of random access memory, hard disk drive, or solid-state drive?
Is a malware scan advisable for the system?
Could you specify the manufacturer and model number of this 600-watt power supply unit?

System monitoring indicates a central processing unit temperature ranging from sixty to sixty-six degrees Celsius, alongside a graphics processing unit temperature fluctuating between sixty-five and seventy degrees Celsius. Central processing unit utilization is at fifty percent, while graphic processing unit usage varies considerably, typically falling between forty and eighty-five percent. System memory consumption is approximately forty-nine percent. Hard disk drive storage contains one point seven three terabytes of available space from a total of one point eight one terabytes, and the solid state drive provides fifty-three gigabytes free within an eleven-one gigabyte capacity. The power supply unit is an Evga six hundred watt, eighty plus bronze model. Despite a full system reboot undertaken to address frame rate stuttering issues, no improvement was observed. Furthermore, reapplication of thermal paste to the central processing unit may have exacerbated the situation due to physical contact with computer components.

Due to having game modes deactivated, I am currently utilizing a maximum performance power setting; would adjusting the system's configuration be beneficial?
