[SOLVED] Upgrading PC questions

[Sebas3702]

Ok, so right now I have my PC build, and I am looking to upgrade my graphics card and/or my CPU to increase gaming performance or fps. Right now my build looks like,

My CPU is an Intel core i5 - 8400 2.8 GHz 6 core processor
My graphics card is MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
My ram is G.Skill Triden Z 16GB
My motherboard is a MSI Z370 GAMING PLUS ATX LGA1151
And my Monitor is a 2560 x 1440 resolution, 144Hz, 27 inch monitor

I was wondering what anyone thought would be best for an upgrade to the CPU or graphics card to increase performance or if there was something else with my build I should be worried about or to look to as an issue. I do know my monitor is a demanding one but I just wanted to know if upgrading would help performance issues related to that?

What case do you have? What is the make and model of your PSU? Where are you located? What is your budget?

The best upgrade you can do is a new GPU, the CPU is ok for now I would wait on upgrading that, I recommend you but the RX5700 XT for now, its a good 1440p gaming card that will drive most games on high fps

Note that you need a good 550W PSU for that card
