Power supply first for sure, followed by gpu. Once you do that you should be okay for most games. A CPU upgrade may help down the road but a 480/1060/1050ti/470/1050 would all be massive gaming upgrades. But as I said before you power supply MUST be upgraded to do anything

ok any suggestions for both Power Supply , GPU and CPU.

Full budget. Both will perform very well. I'd actually suggest adding that SSD to the build no matter which way I went.

If you go with the top build, then once again update the BIOS before the CPU change

Wow you are amazing.. Now this is probably a stupid question but should get a pass cause I'm Texan 😉 .. But will these parts fit / replace my current ones.. same size, etc?

 

[Supahos]

What case do you have? Eww hook the horns and yank em off.

You should wait for aMD Ryzen to come out and see the benchmarks. Wait for that to come out and buy it, or wait for Intel to slash prices... both would be good but the former would most likely be better!

just $5 over budget not a deal breaker am i right? 😀
Added a better power supply and GTX 1070 that stays both silent and cooll even when playing the most demanding game. Also i see no point in choosing the locked i5-7600 as it's price does not justify the marginally faster clock speeds over the cpu i chose... you're better far of with an i5-7600k at the $200+ price range as it is overclockable.

I like the i7 4790 idea

no need to waste money changing platform, just use the money for a damn good gaming rig

can lower the size of the ssd if you also need a good case
