New monitor or Upgrade PC

[JamesRace181]

Hello I need some help deciding on whether to get a new 144hz monitor or upgrade my PC (Everything but the GPU) 

 

I currently have an AMD FX 6300 and a GTX 1060, and BENQ RL2455HM 60HZ monitor. I use this monitor for both PC and Xbox One gaming. I'm not getting the full performance out of my current parts because I run my games at 60fps due to the screen tearing.  I would like to upgrade my PC because of the bottlenecking, however I would be running games at 60fps because screen tearing really annoys me, but then I wouldn't be getting the full performance out of my new parts... (I would be getting a core i7 6700k, 16gb of RAM and i haven't decided on the motherboard yet) It would also be nice to play new games that I can't currently play with my current specs.

 

So now my problem lies here, do I upgrade my PC first or upgrade my monitor first.

 

Any responses are greatly appreciated!

I'd upgrade the gpu. You aren't gonna be running many games at 144 fps on high settings with a 1060.

PC, only on a few games will run at 144fps anyways... especially with the 1060

Yeah like been said the CPU will bottleneck, and that GPU would only get 144 with certain settings on certain games, invest in your pc first.

you must upgrade your cpu since the 1060 is bottlenecking it and prob why you have screen tearing, so first upgrade your cpu and later monitor

Wait for Ryzen one way or another, it is going to shake things, also the 1060 is not a bad card per say but wanting 144mhz on games that aren't e-Sports isn't going to happen with her... I would consider 1440p on 75hz if you aren't a hardcore E-Sports...

CPUs are male, GPUs are female =´/
