It doesn't do that now?

Also 1080p 144hz low doesn't mean anything without a title. CSGo, easy, FarCry, not so much.

If I were you, I would take the GPU and drives out and sell the PC as an office rig. With the money you make from that you could build a pretty decent Ryzen based system and upgrade your GPU down the line when you have more money and big navi/ RTX 3000 releases.
