Upgrade question: CPU vs GPU

[Codejack]

So, I've got enough money to upgrade one component of my system. Current specs:

Pentium G620 2.6GHz Socket 1155
Intel DH61BE Motherboard
4GB G.Skill DDR1333 Memory
XFX HD6770 1GB Video Card
1.5TB WD HD
Antec Earthwatts 450W PSU

The only intensive use is for gaming (some chemistry and physics apps, but they run fine), mostly ESO, MWO, that sort of thing. My current setup is extremely well matched; CPU and GPU usage stay pretty much the same.

I can get an i5-2400 for $140.

Or, I can get an XFX r7 370 for $125.

Thoughts?

Upgrade the GPU.

get the i5, then later get a good card like an r9 380 or something like that

Considering they are very well matched upgrading either one wont give much of a boost.
personally id say upgrade the CPU where at least not everything on your pc will be slow while running those games

Thanks guys, that's the way I was leaning.
