Help me with this upgrade

[Jesse_E]

Hello I'm looking into upgrading soon in end september, but I don't have much and earn much money, im expecting around 300 euro's in end september and for that money I atleast wanted to upgrade my athlon x4 750k and later in 2016 upgrade my Sapphire r7 260x. I've decided to upgrade the cpu first because Im thinking that my low performance in some games compared to other people with the same GPU must be because of that, but I could be wrong, anyway I don't know what intel i5 cpu I must choose and with what motherboard that isnt all that expensive. please help

Is an i5 4690k with the Gigabyte GA-Z97P-D3 a good mix?

Hi jesse, it is. Plus you have to overclock it in the future should it ever fall behind, you won't need to for at least two years I'd wager 😛

Nice also will this increase my framerate in games like GTA online and cpu intensive games?

It'll help with the overall performance, but always remember the main component for the FPS is the graphics card.
