Hi, I’ve been slowly upgrading my pc for years.. these are my specs
MSI 970 Gaming motherboard
AMD FX 6300 clocked at 4.1Ghz
GTX 750 Ti
8GB DDR3

I’m upgrading to a Ryzen 5 1600
16GB DDR4 3200
with a GTX 1060

What should I expect??

PUBG should run pretty well at modest settings, just don't push textures too high to avoid filling the 3GB VRAM, as on Ultra textures i hit around 4-5GB VRAM usage myself and it can result in FPS drops and stutters if you hit the maximum, stick to maybe Medium textures to be safe, but you should handle Medium-High settings across the board at a good frame rate, particularly as the game get's further performance patches which have been getting better. You can see some gameplay from someone with the same CPU and GPU as you are looking at here > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmn9ayexLAM. Performance looks pretty good.

VR it depends... Some VR games aren't too hard to run compared to normal modern games but due to the resolution, you...

That's a significant upgrade across the board. Gaming wise, you would be looking at coming from a Low-Medium 1080p system to High-Ultra 1080p in most modern games at 60 FPS. Even more so if you play competitive games like CSGO, Dota, etc. According to a comparison on UserBenchmark, you're looking at around 70% higher overall performance from the FX 6300 > Ryzen 5 1600 and over 200% from the 750 Ti > 1060 (assuming it's the 6GB model). It'll be a solid system for Gaming and light-moderate workloads! Hope this helps! :)

Take these UserBenchmark comparisons with a grain of salt, they are only approximate averages based on scores from other builds with those components, but overall they give a good indication of how much you can expect.

VR it depends... Some VR games aren't too hard to run compared to normal modern games but due to the resolution, you might have some trouble with some more visually demanding VR titles. They would run no problem, but a lot of VR titles suggest reasonably high stable frame rates to avoid nausea and such which might be difficult to maintain in some harder titles.
