Thank you all for your responses the last hour! I will probably look into air cooling. I just think aio's look nice, and don't take up as much room around the cpu. But as for the GPU, any suggestions? Or should I just keep my 1060? Thank you all for your time

Hey, just had a questions and would love anyone's opinion on them! Right now I have a pc with a Rtyzen 7 1700, GTX 1060, and 16gb of ram, with a 1440p 144hz monitor. I generally play lower spec games, or turn the resolution of the game to 1080p, so I haven't had too many problems with framerate. Oh, I am also using the stock cooler. I built this on a tight budget, and thought the stock cooler would do when I built it back in 2017. Okay, so now that's out of the way, let's get down to business. I recently watched the new water cooling video that Linus made, and after I watched the bottle necking video. Then I thought that my gpu definitely could bottleneck my rig. So I decided to ask you guys! Should I upgrade my GPU and what would be best for my resolution? I have been mostly playing a lot of minecraft and cs, and occasionally some other games. The big problem is running minecraft with shaders is really laggy, and generally gives me below 30 fps. Last thing, when I upgrade my gpu, would it be fine leaving the stock cooler, or should I buy a cheaper AIO? I was thinking about getting this evga one for 115; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N16CAKN/?coliid=ICCNVEW524R64&colid=2D8GMMPOLRE91&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Thank you for your time
