CPU or GPU upgrade first?

[marcrg24]

Hi all!

i am going to buy the EVGA GTX1060 6GB graphics card, buy i am also going to buy the intel i5 7600k processor.
i would like to know which i should buy first, as im £100 pounds short to buy both but will have the money in three weeks.
i was thinking to buy the gpu first so i can test if it works well with my current cpu, and if not i definitely buy a cpu.

will my current cpu bottleneck if i buy the gtx first?

my current specs:
Graphics Chipset
AMD Radeon(TM) R7 Graphics
Memory Size
1024 MB
CPU Type
AMD A8-7650K Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G
Core Clock
720 MHz

as per usual i am very interested in any opinions you may have, of which are also greatly appreciated by myself and my father who stresses about these things (i'm only 15)
kind regards.
Marc.

The answer is, yes. ( WITH YOUR CURRENT CPU!!! )

DEPENDING ON WHAT GAME YOU PLAY!

I hate it whenever people just give yes/no answers.

1080p and higher resolutions with your CURRENT CPU Will bottleneck the GPU.

I suggest not using this CPU Since Ryzen Chips are already coming out.

Hopefully this helps.

As for the i5 Processor, that CPU Wont even bottleneck a GTX 1080.

Hopefully this helps.

Well here is the thing, your current cpu... not that great tbh, but your current gpu is worse... I have to suggest a gpu upgrade though both really require an upgrade for smooth gameplay, I say get the 1060 and make due just always keep your resolution up.
