For just a dual monitor setup, it doesn't make a ton of sense. Just use the 1060. It's more than good enough to run a dual monitor setup on it's own. If you were looking at 3+ monitors, there may be a case to be made, but don't bother for now.

Yeah, can't fit my keyboard in there too though. Tried.

So far since updating my drivers 3-ish hours ago, ram usage has been low and stable. Doesn't seem to be climbing. Thanks to everyone for your input and @Mira Yurizaki especially for pointing me to the network drivers.

For anyone finding this thread in the future, make sure you're updating your drivers by manually identifying your components and going to the manufacturer's site for drivers. I had tried updating my network drivers before in this process, but just went to the device manager and used the windows automated "search online for drivers." That shit don't work, and when it says you have the latest drivers, you probably don't.

Where is your display cable connected to? It sounds like you might have it plugged into the motherboard which could result in your PC running everything through onboard graphics, rather than the actual graphics card which causes the low performance. A 1060 should be more than enough to get maxed settings in CS:GO.
