Upgrade CPU or GPU first

[RoastyToasty]

I have a GTX 750ti and an A8 6500 and I wanted to know if I should upgrade my GPU to an RX 480 or get a new CPU first. Thanks in Advance

well based on reviews and comparison I would say the RX 480 would be a good upgrade (according to these benchmark scores http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-RX-480-vs-GeForce-GTX-750-Ti)

your A8-6500 upgrade path depends on the motherboard you have as well the A8 is a Fm2+ 65w CPU.
what is your motherboard to not assume it can handle an a10 series CPU

I have and Asus F2A55-M Motherboard. and I was thinking of upgrading to the new Ryzen or a 7700k for the CPU

neither of those CPU will work on existing board, it means new Motherboard and memory as well as an upgrade for you in this case.

upgrade GPU. this will give you an instant boost of FPS in games.

as for CPU, i recommend just holding your current one for another year or two. then build a new system, since you will need a new motherboard to accomodate either kaby lake or ryzen.

i would say upgrade your processor it would be a much bigger difference than you realize, and your computer all around would be faster if you upgraded your processor, you will also see a good increase in fps i guarantee you that. it's pointless to upgrade to a better graphics card when your current processor isn't even good enough to fully utilize the power your GTX 750TI has, i know this from experience.
