Upgrade PC help

Hi

So i need some help with what I shuld upgrade for gaming. I notice some jagged lines and objects during most games, but more so in high paced games like racing sims (Project Cars 2) and in CPU demanding games like DayZ SA.

What i run now is:

CPU I7-4790K not OC
GPU GEFORCE GTX 1060 6GB
MONITOR AOC 144MZ
POWERSUPPLY 750W
RAM 16GB DDR3
MOBO Z97S SLI Krait Edition

My local shop has som upgrade packages Im concidering:

1: CPU/MOBO
Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake Prosessor
Asus ROG STRIX Z270F Gaming, Socket-1151
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz 16GB

OR a GPU upgrade:

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming

So what makes more sense here?

You are seeing screen tearing.
You can check your FPS and limit your fps to your lowest value. You should then also lower your refresh rate to match this level.
Using msi afterburner / riva tuner will help with this.

Upgrading your video card will get you closer to the 144fps a 144hz monitor needs.
A faster video card will mean less tearing. You should still do the above, but it will just be with a higher FPS.

Keep your current CPU.
Your CPU is fast enough. Before I replaced that CPU I would determine that it is bottlenecking (your CPU is not likely to do this for your video card). Once it does start to bottle neck, overclock it before you decide to replace it.

I dont think it is screen tearing. In racing games like Project cars 2, everything looks good, but highly detailed things like fences, guardrails, trees, thin lines like lightposts etc looks a bit blinkering, and jagged, and so do shaddows. Tried ultra settings, high, med, but it is still there.

In other games it could be on lets say powerlines, the edges of houses etc.

Do you have anti-aliasing turned on?

Yes all settings are good, but it is almost like it might be something strange going on, sometimes fps drops, but its hard to tell if its the cpu or gpu.
stresstested, all normal results and temps are all in the clear. It might be that the pc is getting a bit outdated for the newer games

With a 6gb card it should not be a texture issue. Since all the errors you mentioned had to do with hard edges and fine details, I would check your anti-aliasing settings. Smoothing those out is what AA does. Dropping bits of them can happen with AA is off.
