G.Skill Ripjaws V Red DDR4 2400 PC4-19200 16GB 2x8GB CL15
Intel Core i5-7600K 3.8GHz
MSI Z270 Gaming Plus

those are the new things i want to buy to upgrade my pc, got already a gtx 1060 3gb gigabyte

I want to change my i5 2500k@4.2ghz - 8gb 1600 ram and a p8p67 mobo that is kinda of faulty.

the question is, i'll have a nice setup to run games like cs go - player unknown battleground- league gta and more? i just need some more fps, since i run those games at 144hz (benq 2411z)

are those pieces compatible?

and finally, is it worth to spend around 400 500€ to get some performance more?

maybe i can get something else for similar price?
thanks for any good help and tips <3

The build looks great if you are only sticking with Intel. If you are open to AMD and their new Ryzen cpu, you could get worlds more bang for your buck for the 400-500€.

Yes, you will get more than 'some more FPS.'
Yes, they are compatible.
regarding performance/price, maybe, but you will definitely notice the difference.
i5-7600K is the best Intel core for gaming in that price range; MSI Z270 Gaming Plus is a good motherboard; RAM has less impact on gaming, generally. This is a good upgrade.
