[andreas tadros]

Well my pc specs are:
-Gigabyte h61m d2b3
-Intel pentium g620 2,6 ghz
-6gb ddr3 1333mhz ram
-600watt psu
-onboard graphics card

And i am thinking of buying an amd r7 260x graphics card and a i5 proccesor later on is this i good idea?Or should i buy the cpu first?my budget for the gpu is around 150euros and for the cpu 200euros do you have another idea?

Sorry for my english

If your mobo supports the part and you're looking for performance in games, then yes, it's a very good idea. Do you play CPU intensive games or GPU intensive games? (CPU intensive games are games like League of Legends, most MMOs, etc, whereas GPU intensive games are general popular titles such as Steam games, etc). Given the spec of your current system, I would expect the discrete GPU to be the more impactful upgrade for most games. Also, consider that when you upgrade your CPU, you may also need to upgrade the mobo.

I ll choose a cpu that has 1155 socket that is supported by my mobo

 

[andreas tadros]

I just changed plans i ll buy an r9 270x and once i have enough money i ll buy an i5 with 1155 socket

Get any i5-2xxx or i5-3xxx

Spend the rest on a graphics card

 

[andreas tadros]

I think of getting an gpu first

This is the best option

That's fine, get the best GPU you can afford now and then save up for the i5
