16GB of RAM would be better for gaming.

I would swap out the sandisk 128GB for a 250GB M.2, or 500GB M.2 if budget permits.

Why do you feel you need to upgrade? Is it not performing how you’d like?

It looks like a good build to me if you’re looking for a 1080p gaming machine.

yes ram is good idea but the m2 would make the big of a difference like from hhd to ssd

I am not getting more than 120 fps on rainbow 6 so i wonder what is the problem

What frame rates are you getting?

Link below has the slightly faster 1060 6GB getting 116fps @ 1080p, but this review was done two years ago so circumstances regarding operating system, video drivers and game updates can have an affect on results as of present.

Windows and GPU power plans also play a roll.

Microsoft Game Bar / xbox dvr recording can cause problems so best turn it off.

Not a fan of GeForce Experience and never use it to optimise games.

Regarding hardware, if you were to get more performance without replacing the graphics card is upgrade memory. I agree with cami, not only is 16GB ram the sweet spot these days but if you're running 1x 8GB, you're missing out on dual channel performance. Ryzen benefits from memory performance so 2x 8GB dual channel and if you can get a twin pack of 8GB Gskill 3200 Cl 14 be even better. Higher frame rates demand more CPU power to feed the GPU so don't want to restrict CPU wherever possible.

Regarding SSD, that's quite small and fyi the 128GB variants actually aren't as fast as the larger SSDs.
