Upgrade my CPU or GPU? (alien.top)

I have an i7 9700k CPU and RTX 2070 Super GPU. When I play Fortnite my CPU is maxed out almost the entire time, ranging low 80% to high 90% often. My GPU sits around maximum 35%. I should note that I run a controller software called ICUE and Discord at the same time. Does this mean I should upgrade my CPU, or is my GPU not pulling its weight and I should upgrade that? I don't know much about hardware, but it's really been bugging me!

That means there's a CPU bottleneck yes. But I'm surprised a 9700k would bottlekneck a 2070 super that severely. It could be configuration issue or throttling or something.
