Upgrade - GPU vs Monitor?

Hello guys. I was wondering whats my next best move for an upgrade. I recently got a Ryzen 5 5600 and I wanted to upgrade my GPU next, but now having tested a 180hz display its astonishing how much better it is than my 75hz display.

 

I mainly play FPS games at the lowest settings and rarely play GPU intensive games, though playing Delta Force, CoD and Battlefield really does require some GPU horsepower. 

 

My build:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600

Gigabyte A320M-H (rev 1.x)

G.Skill Aegis 2x8GB 3000 MT/s

Asus TUF Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Gaming OC

Thermaltake BX1 550W 80+ Bronze

 

My current display: Dell 27 inch 75hz monitor

If your PC is giving way more FPS than the monitor can handle, then upgrade the monitor, 75Hz is very low for competitive gaming

ehh, you might be fine with the gpu until black ops 6, so maybe look for a new gpu if possible. im currently on a 75hz monitor  and i can say its fine for now.

my pc (cpu is upgrading soon): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Xt9bWt
