first the gpu it can stand up to an 760 but more than that i suggest getting an 200 dollar 4690k so if your gonna get more than an 760 first get an i5 then a power full card 970,etc

Well you can't buy a 4690k as it uses a different socket. Depending on your budget, I would recommend upgrading both CPU and GPU. They are both weak when it comes to gaming standards. If you asked which one to go with first, it would be the GPU. Without upgrading your PSU, the best you can do is purchasing a 750 or 750ti. I would personally get the 750ti due to the larger VRAM size. If you have the money to buy a CPU as well, the i5-3330 or i5-3470 would provide huge improvements over your current CPU.
