Planning to get a new PC, but don't want to put too much money on it. GTX 1060 seems like it can handle alot of games at ultra and is not too expensive.
But can it deliver constant 144fps for CSGO, BF4? And keep that cinematic 24fps on 4K TV while playing GTA V with modded graphics?

R5 1500X
GTX 1060 3GB
8GB

If 1060 can't do it, what card could run these graphics settings at desired fps?

That card for 4k is a bad choice. If you really want to go for 4K gaming, you're going to have to look at the GTX1070 or higher. For the GTX1060, you can expect medium to high(tweaked in in-game settings with game details) settings for the games you've mentioned. CS Go isn't a demanding game but BF4 would have some(minor) frame drops.

Well, .. here I have it, and the results for most of the games I played: Low-Medium to get 1080P144fps, High-Ultra to get 1080P60fps, Medium-High to get 4K24fps. (Never turned any setting completely off in the time of testing, for example AA, SSAO..). I would personally never need more than 30fps on 4K IF it's just a SP game. Of course there are better cards out there but I got pretty near where I wanted :D
