PC Upgrade Suggestions

My current PC was bought and built in August 2017 for around $1300 because of the GPU price inflation due to cryptocurrency mining. I was wondering (roughly same price range) what I should be looking to upgrade next. Before I list my parts I am looking to use this as both a gaming rig (as I do now) along with a desktop to do my engineering work on (CAD, computer programming etc). I currently have a 24" 144Hz gaming monitor as well and I am looking to maybe buy the same monitor to make it a duel setup. Games I play range from the Borderlands series, CSGO, League of Legends, Forza Horizon 4 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare. My rig currently has:

  • Intel 7th Gen Core i7-7700K @ 4.20 GHz
  • 16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 Ram 3000MHz
  • Asus Geforce GTX 1060 6GB Turbo Edition
  • EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 Power supply (750W)
  • MSI Enthusiastic Gaming Intel Z170A (Z170A Gaming M5) 
  • 1TB hard drive and a 250GB SSD
