Is it worth it to upgrade my monitor to 144hz on a gtx 770 or should I just upgrade my graphics card first? I mainly play Battlefield 1 and Overwatch.
 
Solution
You will definitely want to replace the GPU first. Upgrading the monitor can provide smoother framerates, but if nothing is pushing those framerates, then its pointless. You will notice smoother performance with the 1060. Then down the line, you can you can upgrade your monitor.
