Budget (including currency): ~$1,000 USD

Country: United States 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming on games such as Overwatch, Warzone, and other games that are less intensive.

Other details: Hello, I was hoping to get some recommendations from you kind people online as to what kind of graphics card I could get in order to improve my performance in games. I am mainly looking for a better graphics card that could run fps games more smoothly on high settings on a high refresh monitor I still have yet to choose. If I can get recommendations on that as well it would be greatly appreciated(but am currently using a random 1080p 60hz monitor, and sometimes use another monitor with similar stats as a dual monitor). I have added my current PC specs below, but it doesn't include 2 additional drives that I am using(one 3 TB HD and one 1TB SSD).

Overwatch is easy to get high fps in for a high refresh monitor, warzone on the other hand it not. Your i7-6700K might hold you back in warzone if youre going for 144fps. There is also the problem of GPUs being hard to get at the moment.

If you can manage to find a 1660 TI, 1660 Super or 1650 Super for a good price, you'd notice a huge jump. 

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.
