Your current GPU is far better and it can run all the games with good FPS what's the matter?. Its better to change your CPU to Ryzen 5 or i7 series

I know its good its run almost all games but with lowest FPS with lags, i still want to upgrate my GPU. About CPU i am not intrsted to upgrate it since its cost more expensive than the GPU cost especilly Ryzen CPU

Both GTX 1660 and 1070 are good with your current Processor. They can helps you to play with 1440p not at maxed out but yeah at good settings. You may watch the video here
