This is the best I can do (unless you go with a $10 keyboard, then you might be able to squeeze in a 580 4GB). You didn't say where you were located so I went with USD. The specific parts might change a bit if you're in the UK to maintain budget. I would recommend going with a used GPU though, since a 570 will struggle with higher frame rates, unless you're only playing esports type games (LoL, CSGO, Overwatch, etc). Newer AAA titles will definitely need some lowered settings. If you go used, you should be able to find a GTX 780/970/980 Or R9 390/390X/Fury for around $150. All of those will be better than a 570.

My Build, v2.1 --- CPU: i7-8700K @ 5.2GHz/1.288v || MoBo: Asus ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming || RAM: 4x4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 2666 14-14-14-33 || Cooler: Custom Loop || GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC Black, on water || PSU: EVGA G2 850W || Case: Corsair 450D || SSD: 850 Evo 250GB, Intel 660p 2TB || Storage: WD Blue 2TB || G502 & Glorious PCGR Fully Custom 80% Keyboard || MX34VQ, PG278Q, PB278Q

Audio --- Headphones: Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX || Amp: Schiit Audio Magni 3 || DAC: Schiit Audio Modi 3 || Mic: Blue Yeti

My Truck --- 2002 F-350 7.3 Powerstroke || 6-speed

My Car --- 2006 Mustang GT || 5-speed || BBK LTs, O/R X, MBRP Cat-back || BBK Lowering Springs, LCAs || 2007 GT500 wheels w/ 245s/285s

 

The Experiment --- CPU: i5-3570K @ 4.0 GHz || MoBo: Asus P8Z77-V LK || RAM: 16GB Corsair 1600 4x4 || Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo || GPUs: Asus GTX 750 Ti, || PSU: Corsair TX750M Gold || Case: Thermaltake Core G21 TG || SSD: 840 Pro 128GB || HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB

 

R.I.P. Asus X99-A motherboard, April 2016 - October 2018, may you rest in peace. 5820K, if I ever buy you a new board, it'll be a good one.

Why would you go 144hz monitor with gtx 1060? Either go 1070 or above or get a 120hz so you can nvidia fastsync to 60hz as 72fps is neither here or there. Where’s 60fps is a east target for 1060 with ultra settings on games for crispy graphics.

I usually play less graphic demanding games so the high fps is nice but I do also like and want to get into the higher demanding games. Also 120hz monitor practically dont exist and 60-75hz is to low.

Are you being serious? There are more 120hz monitors than 144hz. I’ve never actually seen irl a 144hz monitor but seen hundreds of 120hz.
