I just bough a new Gigabyte g32qc that is supose to reach 165hz, however, I am unable to make to go past 60hz.

I mainly use my computer for browsing a light work, and when I game, I do so through cloud gaming (Geforce Now), so because of this, my hardware is a bit dated.

 

This is my hardware setup:

  

Operating System
			Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
		CPU
			Intel Core i5 4570S @ 2.90GHz	21 °C
			Haswell 22nm Technology
		RAM
			8,00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz (11-11-11-28)
		Motherboard
			MSI B85-G43 GAMING (MS-7816) (SOCKET 0)	19 °C
		Graphics
			DELL U2211H (1920x1080@59Hz)
			2048MB ATI AMD Radeon R9 200 Series (MSI)	24 °C
		Storage
			465GB Western Digital WDC WD5000AAKS-00V1A0 (SATA)	22 °C
			111GB KINGSTON SHFS37A120G (SSD)	18 °C

It's highly possible the old GPU you have in there doesn't support over 60Hz at 1440p

Try with displayport, if that doesnt change the situation its likely that your GPU doesnt support more than 60Hz on 1440p.

I5-8600K - GTX 1080 - 16GB RAM - 1.5TB SSD

I want everything pink
