Should I upgrade 120mm to 140mm considering this setup?

It probably wouldn't make a noticeable difference. 

Are you just using the stock graphics card fan curve? The temps aren't very low but still perfectly safe. I wouldn't worry about it unless you wanted more headroom for oc'ing.

Hi, I really don't know if it would make a difference considering my current fan setup, which is:

 

Rear: Aer F120 (x1)

Top: Aer F120 (x2)

 

Front push: Aer P140 (x2)
Front pull: Corsair ML140 RGB (x2)

 

My top priority is to keep the GPU a bit cooler, now it reaches 76-77c when stress testing for 10 minutes.

Do you think 140mm will help? considering what I do already have

If you mean adding the ML140's in pull, the one directly under the graphics card could help a bit. 

If you aren't already running the fans near max rpm, you could simulate the results by raising the front fan speeds.

I do have two ML140's in pull, and I added about an hour ago two NZXT Aer P140's in push for a push/pull configuration on the radiator which is on the front side just because I had them around.

 

Will upgrading the top fans to 140mm help with the GPU temps?

I wish I had a fog machine to test air flow inside my case ><

No I changed the fan curve for the GPU and the case fans and got it down from 86 to 77 degrees max, I just wanted to see if I can make it go down a bit more.
But if it wouldn't make a noticeable difference then I guess it is what it is !
thank you for your patience!
