How can i know which is the weak side of my PC

[Bubble_Double]

I have a amd radeon hd 7450 and a intel core 2 duo e7500 (i plan to upgrade both). Is there any way i can know which one is weaker (so i upgrade it first). Or do you guys know already?
I have 8 gb ddr3 ram

Your Core 2 due 3 7500 is probably the weak point. It only has 2 cores, and most games require 4 nowadays.

Well, GPU and CPU really. HD7450 was pretty low end when it came out, entry level gaming card was considered the 7750 and ideally the 7770.

If you wanted to save a little money you could do a new build around that DDR3, but it almost isn't worth it.

Depending on the motherboard, you might look into getting a used Core 2 Quad 8000/9000 series and finding a faster GPU to drop in. Assuming there is enough power available.

I mean, im going to get a brand new motherboard with an i3 or i5 with more than 3 ghz (im probably going do get the cpu first because i play a lot of source engine games) and then im going to get gtx 1050 ti

A shiny new i5-7400 or the like has onboard graphics that are faster than an HD7450, so you could do that immediately and be better off.
