I have an i3-3220 3.3 GHz processor and a GeForce GT 520 graphics card I use for gaming. Should I uprade to an i7 proccessor or upgrade my graphics card?

As everyone said, the GFX card needs to be upgraded. you're running hardware from 2/3 generations ago, and for the price you're going to pay for upgrading to a decent ICore-7 you could get something like a (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202050&cm_re=video_cards_for_desktop-_-14-202-050-_-Product) and get very good framrates for most games of the current era.
