better cpu or gpu first?

[TraXon]

Hello guys i own a i3 4170 with a gtx 750 ti 2gb and i see that the 750 ti is getting worse for gta v bf1 r6 should i get first a gtx 1060 6gb or a i5 7500 ? With ddr4

get a gtx 1050 ti and you should be good bud. then upgrade cpu

I would upgrade the gpu first, that will certainly improve performance in gaming a lot more than upgrading to an i5 and keeping the 750 ti would.

1060 is great GPU for 1080p gaming and upgrading the GPU first will certainly last you for a long time, CPU world goes by really fast and add many new stuff, so GPU upgrade is good for long term.
Good luck!

what are you on about, the 750 ti is still able to run some modern games low to medium but the cpu that he has is terrible,

I would upgrade the CPU to a high end one depending on the budget you have then soon after upgrade the GPU to a 1060 at least

What are you on about? That i3 is not "terrible" and they would see a much greater increase in gaming performance by upgrading the gpu first.

My opinion is CPU first all am saying here...

The i3 he has is still a solid budget option and capable of running better gpu's than the 750 ti so the gpu would imo be the first to get upgraded.

Thanks for the answers i would get first a gtx 1060!

What are your full specs, including your motherboard and power supply manufacturer and model? What is your upgrade budget?

Have you considered upgrading the CPU with the existing LGA 1150 socket motherboard? Perhaps an i5 from Ebay.

A 1060 now and then save up for a used haswell i5/i7, as that will provide the largest graphics increase.
The 4170 is still an okay low-end CPU, but for the games you're trying to play, it's pushing its limits. But being able to run higher quality graphics will take some load off the CPU.
