In the market for a new monitor and new graphics card. I've been quite impressed with both the RX 480 and the GTX 1060. I prefer nvidia, however I need a new monitor and I wanted to step up my gaming to meet what these GPUs can put out. Would it be better to get a 1080p monitor with Freesync...

I do do full reboots and currently have a WPA-2 personal encryption. I can try to change that when I get home. However, I'm not sure how long it will take to run into an problem. Sometimes it happens multiple times a day other times it won't happen for a week.

I have a Maximus VII Hero motherboard and 2 sticks of DDR3-2133 4GB G.Skill Sniper memory sticks. My question is two parts since prices for DDR3 memory are dropping and I can pick up 2 more sticks of the exact same sticks for about $50, would I see a difference/would it help and is it worth it...
