I wanna upgrade my pc so bad but i dont know which should i upgrade first. upgrade my current gpu with Ati's HD7850 (which is now on a very good price on my country) or my current cpu with an athlon 860k.
Here's my specs
CPU: AMD a4 6300
GPU: nvidia gt 730 2gb ddr3
ram: 4gb ddr3
the reason why im confused is because if i upgrade my gpu first it will extremely bottleneck, but if i upgrade my cpu and save my money to buy a new gpu i dont know which option will give me more performance

Thanks for your answers!
 
Option 1: I would save some more and get an AM3+ motherboard and an FX 8320 or FX 8370 cpu. That will ensure no gpu limitations.
Option 2:
You can also get the hd 7850, and keep it with your current setup while you save for a new cpu+mobo (maybe even go with intel or Zen next year as AM3+ is a pretty much a dead socket).
So I would pick option 2 (maybe even gety the gpu second hand, if you can return it, there is no problem with that).
 

My MB has a support for fm2+ socket cpus so thanks for the answer!
