Hey, I usually upgrade at least one component around once a year but not sure what to upgrade from this year.

Budget around €400/£335

Thinking of picking up a 1060 to replace my 960, my RAM is quite outdated, would it be worth upgrading to better ram, although I'm limited to DDR3. Just curious if anyone has anything to suggest, I know it's quite a broad question. Thanks

If you want more graphical performance then the GTX 1060/RX 470/RX 480 is an option.
As long your ram is still working, you don't need to change it. For most users, 8gb of ram is still enough.

I notice you have one of the 1151 motherboards that use DDR3 ram. I do not think that is wise as I believe the motherboard supports DDR3, however according to intel, the internal memory controller on Skylake does not. Using DDR3 with skylake might damage your memory controller over the long term since since it is designed for the lower voltage DDR4.

1. I would upgrade motherboard + DDR4 RAM.
2. Next I would upgrade the GPU
