need more performance

[NIK VARY]

Hi all,
I need a graphics performance boost as i like fps games like Planetside 2 and i'm not getting good frame rate . So i'm thinking GTX1060 and a new CPU would be good start.
Also currently have 8GB ram,16 be good.Not much money right now so looking to save where i can.
Could i just add another 8GB kit into spare dimm slots.mobo has 4 total,2 spare.And would this be a performance boost?
Any thoughts on compatability? i checked mobo vs video card on ************ but mobo was a Z68AP D3-Version2 and not sure my mobo is V2

Gtx 1060/RX580 and over clock your CPU !!!

If budget allows and due to 120hz monitor, drive 1070/Vega 56 and upscale to 1440p
