[SOLVED] Don't know what to upgrade first.

[DuvyKidd]

So I have a H81m-p33 motherboard, gtx 750ti, intel Pentium g3258 oc to 4.0 ghz
Im on a tight budget and I have no clue what i should upgrade first. the parts are probably 3-4 years old. Im looking to either get a new graphics card or cpu. I don't know much about computers, but I know a bit.
I can spend around $100-200
Im hoping to keep the same motherboard.

List of compatible CPUs:

see if you can get a Intel i5 or i7 cpu at a decent price

e.g.
https://www.pc-specs.com/cpu/Intel/Core_i5_5th_Gen/Core_i5-5675C_3.1GHz/2364
https://www.pc-specs.com/cpu/Intel/Core_i7_5th_Gen/Core_i7-5775C_4-Core_3.3GHz/2351

you might have to look at used cpus on ebay!

how much RAM have you got?

@Diddly - Couldn't help but notice you linked to two 5th Gen Intel processors, but the motherboard doesn't support them.
@DuvyKidd - Other than linking the incorrect generation processors, Diddly is correct. Your best bet is going to be purchasing a new/used processor and we do need to know how much RAM you have installed. These days, anything less than 8GB is going to be troublesome.

@Wolfshadw @Diddly I have 8gb of ddr3 ram. I was looking at a used i5-4670k on ebay for around $150. Is that a good option? If so then would I be able to upgrade to a better gpu in the future?

 

[Wolfshadw]

If possible, save up until you can get an Intel Core I7-4770K/4790K (assuming it's just outside your current budget range). If not then the I5-4670K would be fine.

@Wolfshadw Okay, and for the future which gpu would be a good choice to go with the 4770k or 4690k?

 

[Wolfshadw]

I'd probably pair it with a GTX 1660Ti
