I'd upgrade the graphics card first if the power supply is any good.

If it were me I would wait until a more meaningful upgrade exists. Your hardware is still fast.

What are you trying to do? It seems like a 1080 ought to play those games pretty decently, at least at 1080p. I'm not sure about 1440p or 2160p. I guess you could be running into a CPU bottleneck since that i7 is pretty old, but I'm running the non-k version of that same CPU and I'm honestly not sure if I'm needing a new CPU yet for 1080p. It seems that I'm just trying to play badly optimized games that are struggling a little bit.

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz

GPU: PNY - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 XLR8 Gaming OC Edition 3GB GDDR5 PCIx 3.0

RAM: 16 GB DDR3-1600

PSU: EVGA - 80 PLUS 600W ATX 12V/EPS 12V

So diagnose the crash and add some led strips?

You can get an expansion card for pci or sata and sata power that will let you connect rgb and more fans

Why dont you follow the instructions in the sticky at the top of the troubleshooting forum and provide a bsod dump file, so that others can help you properly?

 

Adding different hardware just adds more variables, it doesnt necessarily fix the problem.

crashing could be dying memory, bad cooling, unstable frequency for its voltage, bad storage drive etc.

A new system can totally do the same, better learn this technique on your current hardware when you can afford to replace half of it even if you break it.
