Hey guys i built my PC in the summer of '17 and i feel it is time to get a little upgrade. I'm thinking of upgrading the cpu and gpu and mobo to game at 144hz 2k or just 144hz 1080p. If you feel that no upgrade is necessary explain why. My budget is around 1.5-2k CAD dollars. Thanks alot

That GPU that you have already works pretty well! I would squeeze it a little bit more, before trying to get rid of it.
