[SOLVED] What should I upgrade?

[MrBucketHead]

I currently have an i5 6600k and a 1060 3gb graphics card. I have the money to upgrade one. What do you guys recommend upgrading? I'm looking to hold 144fps at 1440p on most games

You can't overclock on that H series chipset board. I'm wondering if you should even invest on a new Z series (Z170/Z270) chipset board to enable you to overclock. You also forgot to mention how much you actually have to spend on your upgrade(s).

SSD is the only thing that comes to mind. Without going crazy on parts. Ram would also need an upgrade if going with Z series chipset.

I have a small ssd to run the os I forgot to put on the list. Good suggestion with the board. As for budget around 300 dollars is where I'm at right now

So do you think a motherboard and going to 16 gb of new ram would be better then a straight gpu or cpu upgrade? I honestly don't know a whole lot about pcs, I bough this pc on craiglist used and I'm pretty happy with it right now I'm just concerned It wont be able to keep up with modern games standards for too much longer
