New PC can’t run games.

So I got a “new” PC for gaming, mostly fortnite and the like. It has not been able to run fortnite pretty much at all. Extreme lag, won’t even register when I push a key to move forward in most cases. I upgraded our internet, ran a test online to see if my pc had all the requirements to run it (I’ll post this if needed) which told me it has both minimum and recommended requirements, I did an internet speed test which showed <1ms ping, around 260mbps download speed and about 26mbps upload speed. My Xbox has pretty much the same and runs fine. I will link to the pc I have, I know it is rather outdated (I didn’t want to go all out on my first one) so maybe it just needs a few upgrades? If this is the case, what would you recommend? I am obviously not overly knowledgeable on hardware and the like, I can teach myself html at age 12 but this type of thing I still need to learn a bit more. :)
