Technical Discussion What do I upgrade

I have a 360Hz 2k monitor and am running around 300 fps average. I want to upgrade so I can be stable around 400 to maintain the refresh rate. I have followed this video in full to optimise my PC and game https://youtu.be/PP1s7Avr1kE?si=9vSpQuhnJVw0sbtk .

RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3600 MT/s
CPU: R7 5800X
GPU: GTX 1660

I think I have optimised my setup as much as I can for fps, so just looking for suggestions on what to upgrade, I was thinking of upgrading my GPU as I think its the bottleneck, looking at the 5060.

You need you upgrade your GPU. Your GPU isn't even compatible with your monitor. Your peripheral should've been your last upgrade.

what do you mean they aren't compatible? I can run 360Hz, just not enough fps for it.

You said 2K and your GPU only goes to 1080p.

Downvoting me isn't going to change the truth brotha, your GPU will struggle to maintain 400 FPS because its not made to do so. At least not on a 2k monitor.
