Built my pc some years ago and have only upgraded my graphics card (gts 450 to gtx 1070). Unfortunately, I'm not ready to drop a couple grand on a whole new set up right now. I am comfortable spending a couple hundred on minimal upgrades, mainly just increasing RAM. I'm using an Asus VN247 monitor and looking to switch to the LG 27GN850-B. I feel like going to 1440p and 144hz with the below specs will overwork it? Nothing is OC. Mainly playing Apex, occasionally ESO, The Witcher.
MB: Asus Z87- plus
CPU: i7-4770k
GPU: Asus Dual GTX 1070
RAM: 8GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 1866MHz (2x4GB)
PSU: Seasonic Focus plus 650W gold
I know the CPU is fairly old but feel like my RAM is the bigger bottleneck. Is it worth getting the monitor? Both monitor and RAM? Or just wait for a whole new build?
