Hey! I want to upgrade my PC so I can run all games on ultra with at least 60 fps and games like shooters and mobas with 144 fps average since I have a 144 monitor. My budget is around 200€ and i know little about PC Specs. What would you guys recommend I upgrade first?

 

Here are the specs:

 

UserBenchmarks: Game 69%, Desk 78%, Work 45%


CPU: Intel Core i5-7600 - 85.5%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB - 71.2%
SSD: Adata Ultimate SU800 256GB - 85.5%
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB (2016) - 107.1%
RAM: Kingston HyperX 2133 C14 1x8GB - 39.8%
MBD: Asus PRIME B250M-K

The power supply is a Nox NX 750W

Honestly I would save up more money before upgrading because your PC is pretty capable and any upgrade would cost more than 200. 

Also 8GB of RAM is simply not enough.  Especially if your using Winblows 10 , once in game it will eat up your ram then use your RAM as if it were the video cards VRAM.  Once theres no more VRAM then it uses the much slower RAM.  Your 6GB card will suffice but will not give you 144fps.  You will never get a constant 144fps, there will be climbs and dips, which is where freesync comes into play.  Is your 1060 not hanging at 1080p ?  It should do well, and you don't need a upgrade right this moment.  Chill until AMD Zen 2 comes out then you can get a powerful CPU which wont bottleneck like your current one and youll also buy a RX 590 or a RTX 2070 or 2060 for 1080p gaming.  For 1440p gaming and AA methods turned on and all eye candy then you need a 2070 and possibly a 2080.  Hope this made some sense.  good luck

Tbh 200€ isn't gonna get you anything that would improve upon what you have currently, save up more money and also wait for AMD's big announcement later next month to see what happens.
