I want to upgrade two things on my laptop but due to financial restrictions, I am limited to only one for now. Here is my laptop's current spec:

Screen: 1920x1080 60Hz
CPU: i7-8750H
GPU: GTX 1060 Max-Q 6GB
RAM: 8 GB

I plan on upgrading either my screen to 120Hz or the RAM to 16GB. I've been experiencing screen tearing when I try to limit my FPS and I don't want to use V-sync because of its input lag and sometimes my games experience stuttering when I multitask or if I even have the Discord overlay on.

Which do you think should I upgrade first? I've already found a place where I can buy and have the new LCD replaced and it costs a bit more than the 8GB RAM upgrade. Thanks.

Upgrade to SSD first if you have HDD, then check, are you having any RAM bottlenecks? If yes - add the RAM, if not, then change the laptop, you cannot change cpu and gpu on the laptop.
