At least an overclocked GTX 1070 or RX 590. I am running Apex at 85-120fps with a 1060 6gb @2050mhz

(1080p)

i would say 1660 ti and ryzen 5 3700x

144fps at 1080p id say you can keep the cpu for now and stick with upgrading the GPU to a 1060ti minimum. May not get you all the way to 144 but pretty damn close

im currently using a radeon r9 290, i have apex legends capped at 144fps(without capped fps i get to 190-210), but i need to play at 4:3 cause my gpu temp is 75-80°C

Does your monitor support 144hz refresh rate?

For GPUS when it comes to Nvidia you need either 1070 OC'd and above. If for example you wanted to buy a RTX 2070 Super which is a great gpu but still you would kind of waste money if not going for the 3000 series example 3070. But still 2070S works great.

AMD gpus rx 5700 and above. 6000 series coming out soon.

Then I'd also recommend upgrading your CPU. Ryzens are way better now so I recommend minimum Ryzen 5 3600 and there's 5000 series coming out which are way better you can get those too. Intel's are way too expensive don't go for them.

Budget obviously comes in question here. I'm just recommending for safe 144fps gameplay.

RAM always have 2 sticks example 2x8GB so you can run it in dual channel, CPU has more space to breathe. Speed of RAM go for 3200MHz or faster if you can afford it.

Motherboards recommended for Ryzen CPUs are b450 versions especially those MAX which have upgraded bios already and you won't have any issues with it.

Now because newer GPUs require more power, you will need a better power supply, with minimum of 600W, AMD GPUs use more power so go for example 650W minimum. And PSUs are quality if they have 80+ efficiency then we got tiers like bronze silver gold platinum titanium.

All I can say for now.

What GPU? I would say AMD RX 5600XT and i hit 144hz all the time some settings are low tho.
This is my full build

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: AMD RX 5600XT
MOBO: B450
RAM: 16GB (2x8) 3,200mhz
SSD: 500GB M.2 NVME
PSU: 550W 80 Plus Bronze Rated

so far my 1660 super has been serving me well since my fps usually hits 144fps but at times it is not consistent. I'd love to upgrade gpu for more consistent fps.

Wait for a Nvidia 3000 series or AMD 6000 series. 3070 or 6800 would do it. But they are scarce atm.

Or with a bigger budget a RTX 3080 or 6800XT / 6900XT.

Current cards cost more for less performance.

This game is not optimized, you won't get stable 144fps on any hardware. Everyone saying otherwise is braindamaged

I use this config and get high fps. Could get 400, but the game looks horrible lol, so i scaled the graphics back a bit.
