I need help upgrading my graphics card.

IFTI

Budget (including currency): Around 1000 usd

Country: Bangladesh 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly Valorant, Red Dead Online, Fivem(gta v modded client)  and sometimes streaming.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Current Specs: 
Ryzen 5 2600
Gigabyte b450m gaming motherboard
Sapphire pulse rx570 8gb

I want to upgrade my graphics card to a 3060 or 3070 if possible in the near future  , But I dont know if my processor or my motherboard can handle that. If it doesn't I want to upgrade my processor to  a 5600x . I want to spend as low as i can. It would help me a lot guys.

I will be playing at 1080p 144hz.

You can use any GPU you want. Some stuff yeah you'll be bottlenecked by your CPU, but you'd also be way beyond 144fps at that point, so you wouldn't even be able to notice. 

 

I wouldn't worry about a whole lot. That being said, an AMD card like a 6700XT will be faster with an older CPU like the 2600:

If you plan to stream, maybe consider getting a Ryzen 5 5800X, you can either use beta bios on your current motherboard, or just get a new b550 one. What's your PSU? maybe that's something you might want to consider upgrading now so you can use a 3070 or more in the future.
