Should i upgrade =D

[nlybekk]

Hello. Look at my build.
Monitor: ASUS VG248QE
CPU: I5 6600K OVERCLOCKED TO 4,5GHZ
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB OC a litttle bit
MOTHERBOARD: MSI Z170A PC MATE
RAM: 16GB
2TB HARDDRIVE AND 250GB SSD
I have 110FPS in PUBG but it feels like it stutters.

PUBG is not very optimized game. I think if you are not going to do significant upgrade it's not worth it.

I had a 6600K before, though a 1080... reduce graphical phidelety... set all to medium for example.

They have done a lot of optimisation on PUBG in the past 2 years. I used to have 30FPS in many areas with a GTX1080 in the beginning. Stutter still occurs in some areas where the assets have issue. Specifically I noticed that some stairs leading up into some buildings cause frames to momentarily drop to below 40 FPS while average framerate is over 100.

I did help someone upgrade from a 1060 to 1080 and it did still significantly improved smoothness. Those pesky low FPS moments are now much less. I would say yes upgrading will help, and you need to make it worthwhile. E.g. at least GTX 1080, 1070ti or RTX2060. Then you can also think about getting a better CPU but that would be second price. The 6600k is still OK and a 7700k like mine (which is still one of the fastest CPUs for PUBG) is 15% faster in single core than your CPU which I dont think is worth upgrading yet. I find that overlcocking my GTX 1080 founders edition to 2000Mhz immediately makes noticeable difference for me.

So in short, Upgrading your graphics will make a difference and also getting a 144Hz monitor makes a huge difference especially during aiming in high tense fast paced turning scenarios.

So a RTX 2060 would give me a significant boost in smoothness?

In my opinion yes, it does make it a lot less micro-stuttery to have a faster card and there is still a visible difference going from a 2060 to something faster but to lesser extent.

But if your budget (which we don't know) will allow it. Go for 2070.

My budget is around $500-550 so i'm not sure if i should upgrade cpu or gpu. I have 1080p 144hz monitor and i want more stable fps in games like The witcher 3 and Gta 5

Defnitely a GPU upgrade will make a bigger difference. Like I said your CPU is not actually bad, and you will get much less gains from getting a faster CPU and staying with the same GPU. From the 550$ I would go for a RTX 2070.
