What should I upgrade?

[ShadySocks]

I only play CSGO right now, and I want to know what to upgrade. I am waiting for ryzen, but maybe I could snag something among the hype  I get around 120 FPS in csgo, and want to fix the screen tearing I get. It is rare for me to drop under 60fps. What should I upgrade?

Edit: I got most of this stuff for free, so that's why the parts are so uncommon

sounds like your only issue is the screen-tearing

i would say get a higher refresh rate monitor (this could help you in CS if you play competitive)
and/or
a monitor that supports gsync/freesync + a new GPU that will support that technology

Now, should I buy a nvidia card and use fast-sync, or get an AMD GPU and buy a freesync monitor? Or should I go with 144hz instead, and buy an older used graphics card?

g-sync isn't supported on a 560ti.

 

That being said you could get a new monitor but I don't think that will help much.

A 144hz monitor will stop screen tearing, yes? My GPU has two DVIs

set vsync. you won't have tearing. saves lots of money.

Vsync causes an unbearable amount of input lag.

no a 144hz wont stop screen tearing unless its using an adaptve refresh rate

 

Screen tearing is a visual artifact in video display where a display device shows information from multiple frames in a single screen draw. The artifact occurs when the video feed to the device is not in sync with the display's refresh rate.

why aren't you using the LAN port on the MB?

pull 2 sticks of ram.

test.

Honestly a GPU upgrade would be your best bet. Your GPU is old. And like others said a high refreshrate monitor would be very nice.
