CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz

Memory: 12GB

GPU: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 4GB

It can do but not for all games. I guess it won't keep up with more than 90 for pubg and fortnite. Check it yourself by monitoring your fps. Short answer, if you are gaming now in 60 hz go for the upgrade. Even if your rig doesn't do 144 fps, you can lock the framerate to your achieved, i.e 80 or 90, which makes great difference from 60. If you are gaming in 75 hz monitor, it doesn't worth it.

144hz or 144fps?
These 2 are not the same.
Your PC can run 144hz monitor but if you aim for 144FPS...well..not in most games
