Hi,

I have a current setup of Pentium G4600 paired with a GTX 950 2GB and 8GB of 2400mhz ram.
What do you think should i upgrade first, my cpu or my gpu to play new and upcoming games?

Thanks!

Yes, that should be fine since most games require GPU power. I wouldn't suspect any bottleneck as long as you don't use an extremely higher end GPU like GTX 1080 / Ti


I would likely want to upgrade the CPU, motherboard but since you still have a recent one that uses DDR4 memory just slapping a newer GPU is an option I'd recommend a GTX 1050 Ti to 1060 or RX 570/580 8GB.

So I gues my Pentium G4600 is still viable to play AAA games right now?
