Should i upgrade my cpu or my gpu first?

[killercacciatore]

Hi, first of all, i use this pc for gaming and sometimes editing.
I have an Amd a8-6600k overclocked at 4,2 GHz and EVGA gtx 570hd Superclocked.
If I upgrade the CPU I will go for ryzen, probably a 1400 and if I upgrade the GPU I would go for a 1060.
Which one should I upgrade first? I was thinking about the CPU.

Thanks for your time!

hahaha, honestly I know, but my birthday is coming and I have the budget to upgrade only one.

what games are you looking forward to play ? you can get an AMD gpu in the 500 series perhaps

Yes, I would upgrade the CPU first. Ryzen is a good choice if you are editing. You are likely CPU limited in some games already, and especially when editing.

If you're budget allows, the Ryzen 5 1600 is considerably a better choice for editing and even gaming.

All the good ones are currently overpriced by 50%+, RX 560 isn't a good enough upgrade over the GTX 570.

yes AMD is overpriced because of their Ryan , but i wouldn't say their gpu's are totally weak in comparison to what nvidia has to offer

I usually play h1z1 (everything on low and it doesn't even stay at 60 fps), Battlefield 3, Payday 2, Call of duty Black ops 2 and a few other titles, but I would really like to play GTAV or PUBG.

I really can't go above a 1400 maybe with some black magic i could reach a 1500 but that's it

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying the cheapest new RX 570 I see now costs $315 when they originally cost $189. And that the RX 560 is simply not a good enough GPU to consider as an upgrade over a GTX 570.

GPU first , then issue is prices at the moment.

Just stick to the 1400 and a B350 mobo then so you can overclock.

My plan was 1400, Asus PRIME B350-Plus and Ballistix Sport LT 2400 8GB

You should get 3000MHz RAM or at least low cas RAM that will OC to 3000MHz. They say that makes a big difference with Ryzen.

What about this one? its the amazon.com link but here in Italy they cost less

Yep that's good. *Just don't forget to enable XMP in your BIOS because it will likely default to 2133MHz.
