Christmas is nearing and I'm planning on upgrading my PC, however I don't know what to upgrade.
I can either upgrade my CPU or my GPU.
My current build is:
CPU: Athlon 750k
RAM: 8GB
GPU: MSI HD 7850

My CPU bottlenecks my GPU a lot, which is why I'm inclined to upgrade it to an i5 4460 (or something around that price considering the mobo change as well), but I also want to upgrade my GPU to get more FPS which is why I have my eye on a gtx 760.

Upgrading either of two will give me a boost in FPS performance, but I don't know which would be better. Get a CPU that doesn't bottleneck my GPU as much, or get a GPU to get more FPS in games?
 


It doesn't really matter what mobo I'm using right now because if I upgrade the CPU I'd have to change it. I would plan on getting an i5 4460 + Gigabyte B85-HD3.
