The only thing is now I have a GTX 970. Not a 960.

Anyways, what should I replace?
I was thinking of replacing the 970 with a 2060?

Any other suggestions?

Why do you think that?
What's your monitor's resolution and refresh rate? And is it GSync, FreeSync, or neither?

Just think it's time.
Its 1920 x 1080 and 60 hz.

Not sure about Gsync or freesync.

It's an Asus VN247

@dbwilson21,

Is that your current system you posted? If it is what games do you play that may need an upgrade? Your PC should handle basically all current games on the market @1080 x 60fps.

Yea it is. I'm having some trouble with Apex Legends.
The sound is choppy and FPS jumps a lot.

Your system can easily run that game. Shouldn't be a problem. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed. A friend of mine has a GTX 1070ti and was having issues running APEX. He read on the forums that some Nvidia cards have issues with Anti-Aliasing turned on in graphic settings.

Your monitor would hold back any performance a faster video card will give you. It can only display 60 frames per second. Any video card upgrade would be a waste of money.

Apex Legends is a new game, and, I seem to recall reading that it's badly optimized thus far, though, don't quote me on that.
