Should I get a better CPU or a better graphics card?

[justanotherjose]

I have an Asus GTX 950 STRIX
AMD A8-7600 Radeon R7, 3.1GHZ (I know its an old CPU but it's what I had :/)
Asus A68HM-Plus motherboard
16gb ram

I have tried playing(overwatch) and I cant get stable 60 fps at medium or high graphics. When I first started playing with this graphics card a couple days ago, it ran better. I could get stable ish fps at some high settings. Do you guys have any tips or ideas?

I've tried running the game on silent mode, gaming mode and OC mode. None of these really change the game too much.
Graphics card usually stays around 45 degrees idle and 66 when actually playing.

Also I am open to getting a GTX 970 so I can run at higher graphics, but I dont know if it'll do me any good, since I might bottle neck with my CPU? Also if it is my CPU, which I think it is. Which one do I upgrade to?

This is the link I THINK of compatible CPU's.

Get a new CPU something like an AMD 880K, your GPU is good enough, but your processor is quite the bottleneck. If you are willing you could go to an intel CPU you will notice the difference, but your cheaper option is getting the 880k, it should work on your motherboard, just make sure you have the latest bios.

Why do you have an A8-7600 but have 16 GB of RAM?
And you should really buy a new cpu first and stick with the 950 because upgrading it would just bottleneck your cpu.

Haha, that looks really bad lol. It's my first build and I did it with old parts my mom had lying around. She had a lot of RAM sticks so that wasn't a problem. This is the same person(justanotherjose) btw.

Some of overwatch's problems are the game itself, lots of people not being able to maintain 60fps even with i7's and 980's. Normally I try not to just tell folks to 'google it' but seriously, have a look at 'overwatch fps problems' and there are page after page of people reporting issues from others here on TH, reddit, battle.net etc.

Given your cpu/gpu both could stand to be better but not sure upgrading either would have a significant improvement given this particular game. People with i7's and 970's or 980's are often getting in the 30's and 40's, not sustained 60fps.
