I play competitive gaming, and I want to get the max FPS possible, and I don't want to bottle neck. just want to ask you guys what you thought i should upgrade, something that would increase the most. My budget currently is $500-$600, so keep that in mind. here are my specs:
1060 6gb
i7-8700
16 GBS DDR4 @ 1300 mhz
(I dont know my motherboard, i looked on CPU-Z and it said LENOVO 36E9.)
(No overclocking)
(No liquid cooling, just fans)
Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

^Yep, the 8700 can easily handle a more powerful GPU, and it would boost your FPS considerably. There have been lots of deals on GPUs lately. Try signing up for Newegg's email subscriber deals. They've been having a lot of good GPUs for under $500 lately.

It would help to know exactly what brand and model of PSU you have though, as that determines how powerful a GPU you can run. A 2070 requires 550 watts total system power minimum.
