I want to upgrade my CPU (AMD A8-5600k) and my GPU (AMD Radeon HD 6570) but I don't know where I should start. First thing I want is more FPS in games like CS:GO and Overwatch, which is why I thought about starting with my CPU, but I don't know which one to buy. My budget for the first component is probably 150€ and I will upgrade my second component after summer.
I also thought about upgrading to a new system but I don't have any money for that right now.

Motherboard: ASUS F2AB5-M LE
RAM: 8 GB at 1333 MHz
No SSD but will get one with the upgrade

The i3 7100 is a great choice too. Although if you are on a very tight budget (which it seems) then go for a G4560 as recommended by LucoTF. It has pretty similar performance to the i3 7100.



I'm going wuth gpu then. I prefer Intel but their products cost a lot more than the AMD ones. But I heard NVidia preferrs Intel processors, right?


Thanks. Which cpu would you get after the gtx 1050 ti?

What do you think about an AMD FX 8320? 2 cores seems weird to buy now.
 

yeech, hell no

under $100 - g4560

up to $200 - i5 or ryzen
