To avoid asking, I will first introduce you to my configuration:
-Asus Z390-A Prime
-Intel i5-9600k (runs on 5 GHz)
-ASUS TUF Gaming X3 Radeon RX 5600 XT Top Evo (overclocked to 1820 MHz)
-16GB G.Skill RipJaws V black DDR4-3200 DIMM CL16 Dual Kit
Now my problem is that in every game (Warzone, Fortnite) my CPU usage is 100% and the usage is between 15-40 percent. Since I would like to get as much performance out of it as possible, I would like to change this.
According to this page "https://pc-builds.com/calculator/Core_i5-9600K/Radeon_RX_5600_XT/0RP15w/8/100"
Should only minimally bottleneck the CPU.
There's no i5-9900k
How many FPS do you end up with?
The lower the demands on the graphics card, the less it is used to capacity. And Fortnite is graphically not particularly complex and therefore does not put too much stress on the graphics card.
But the processor still has to work and at some point it is at its limit.
In other games, the graphics card can bend before the processor.
You mean the 9600k
Yes, he probably meant i5-9600K.
I interpreted it as i5 of the 9th gene ^^
The link is also given the 9600k.
Do you have an FPS limit?
Fortnite is pretty demanding when it comes to CPU.
But not as far as the GPU is concerned.
Ohh sorry, I misread and thought you meant the CPU usage.
I'll wait to edit my answer so it's a little clearer.
Yes, it is clear.
Yikes, meant of course 9600k.
I limited it to 144 fps (144Hz) But I sometimes have at least at the minimum fps drops to 120 or so and you can feel that. I also play tournaments and so where the fps go to an average of 110 or so.

As Melchie mentioned in my answer, Fortnite is very demanding for the processor.
However, since I can't gain anything from Fortnite myself, I can't say exactly how much load is currently normal in Fortnite. Old benchmarks hardly help because the game is always developing!
What you mention with your bottleneck, however, is mostly nonsense in my eyes anyway. One game loads the processor more, the other less and it looks similar with the graphics card.
In games where the graphics card is barely stressed, the processor will eventually reach its limit.
Somehow I don't understand the following sentence:
My CPU utilization is 100% and the utilization [isn't something missing? ] is between 15-40 percent.
Otherwise, where exactly is your problem and in what resolution and with what quality settings do you play the games mentioned?
1080p all low. Sounds like this isn't a problem. And somehow that makes sense. I just wanted to ask if there's a problem but then I think the question has been clarified.
