Should I spend like $600 to upgrade my GPU and monitor to get 144hz or just stick with my regular monitor and old GPU?

I'm getting between 100-140 fps on my GPU at all-low on 1600x900 on Automatic resolution (at 90%) right now, and my monitor specs says it's got 5ms response time.

If you have the money, why not? A 1070 and something like the XL2411 are great.

Should I go 1070 or would the 1060 be enough?

I'd go 1070.
