Hi guys
I'll replace my gaming setup soon and i need some advices in which order should i buy first.



I have the following 2010 setup for gaming:

Phenom II X4 B55 3.2
HD 5770 1GB
Can't remember the MOBO Asus something
8 gb DDR3 (2x 2GB / 1x 4gb)
PSU BlackMaster 500w

I'm planning to upgrade to the following setup to play on 1080 on 60 fps, not ultra

I7 7700
GTX 1060 (6 or 3GB i'm not sure)
Mobo ASUS LGA 1151 ATX B150 PRO GAMING/AURA
Kingston 8 GB DDR4 (eventually 16 on Dual Channel)
PSU: Corsair CX500 or CX600 i'm not sure yet
SSD Sandisk Plus 2.5 240GB


I know what some of you might be thinking, that this I7 is overkill for a 1060, and you guys are right, I5 could do the job, yeah but i'm thinking in switch cpu maybe in 2032, so the I5 can do the job in present, but i'm not sure about the future.


Also i know that i should wait and get everything together and this would avoid loss money while my other components are bottlenecking the new ones, but things here are overpriced and at this moment i can only choose 1 and the second part would be purchased after 4-6 months.


Alright, the great question
Which one buy first CPU or GPU?

In order to use the CPU i would have to get too

CPU+MOBO+RAM+PSU and that worth around 2600 $ in my currency

GPU worth 1000$



In another words
Phenom II X4 3.2 + 1060
vs
I7 7700 + HD 5770

Thanks
