Should I upgrade Monitors?

Hello!

Currently I have a gateway FHX2300 monitor which has a refresh rate of 60hz at 1080p. I was thinking of upgrading monitors because I do game and this one isn't the best. My computer friend says that I should get something that puts out about 120Hz because of how technology is advancing. Though, I am not an avid gamer and go between the same games like rocket league, CSGO and Rust. Would it be best to go for 75hz monitor or something higher? Also, how reliable are sceptre monitors? I am a student on a budget and I am looking at upgrading my CPU in a couple months so I can't go overboard.

These are the performance scores and power usages of the processor and graphics card that's currently in your computer:

This is the support site for the MSI 970 Gaming motherboard that's currently in your computer:
https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/970-gaming.html

It does not appear to support any of the AMD Ryzen processors.
https://storage-asset.msi.com/file/test_report/TR19_3193.pdf

It does not appear to support the AMD Radeon RX 5700 graphics card.
https://storage-asset.msi.com/file/test_report/TR1_3193.pdf

It looks like you will need a new motherboard if you intend to upgrade the processor and graphics card.

By the way, your current graphics card appears to support monitor refresh rates between 60 Hz and 144 Hz.
