High Hz Monitor vs High Speed Quad Core?

Totally Average Gameplay

I am thinking of upgrading once I have enough money.

Which upgrade should I do first?

Is the 60Hz 900p monitor first to go?

Or should I let go of my Ryzen 2200G?

Upgrades are either: 144hz 1080p monitor or the fastest quadcore the Ryzen 3 3300X?

My GPU will remain as the RX 480 8GB, I play a lot of online games with reasonable and competitive settings (Low-Med Settings pushing well above 80 fps)

Games include: League of Legends (Max Settings 100fps easy)

Rainbow 6 Siege (Also Max due to that sweet Vulkan)

War Thunder (Med Settings 80FPS and I keep my GPU stock because it is the only game that freezes randomly whenever I apply +125MHz memory but the undervolt stock 1288MHz core at 1090mV is OK)

I'm greatly above potato, but I'm getting there...

I would get the monitor. 2200G should still be capable enough with an rx480

Get the monitor. It'll improve your overall desktop experience, whereas the CPU upgrade will only improve FPS in certain scenarios.
