Having 2 1440's, yes, you badly need to upgrade video card. Something like a 6800 XT, 4070 may work or might not be strong enough but 4080 is a lot of money, or 3080 Ti.
After you buy a GPU, save up for new board and processor, your 6 cores won't always keep up with graphics card
All of those gpus are way over my desired budget.
What games do you want to play and how sensitive to low fps are you? I disagree strongly with the top level comment. The fact that you have two displays doesn't matter and you are limited to 60Hz anyway.
I have a 1070 for two 1440p and one 1080p monitor. But since I don't play any demanding games I'll wait out the Nvidia 5000 series before buying anything new.
Then spend every dollar you can on a video card to power the dual 1440's. Then work towards buying a new motherboard and processor.
no
No. That is not needed and also ridiculously over budget for most people.
I have a 1070 and am very happy with my 1440 1440 1080 monitor configuration. Keep in mind that op only has 60Hz!
A 3080 would also require a new PSU, maybe the 6800xt as well
