Upgrade CPU or GPU

[Izumi Reina]

So I was just wondering what you guys thought I should upgrade.

Comp Specs:

G3258 @4.6Ghz (will higher when my cooler comes in the mail, using stock rn)

EVGA GTX 750ti (the basic mini one, not sc, and not ftw) http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7BB34G5883&cm_re=gtx_750ti-_-14-487-025-_-Product

H81-P33 Motherboard (just putting this here since there is conflicting reports on where or not it can overclock a i5 4690k, etc.

Currently run dual 1080p monitors (only game on one though, adding just incase it would still affect the 3GB on something like a GTX 1060 3GB)

Blah stuff that doesnt matter

 

So for Christmas I plan to choose something under $300CAD.

Im currently looking at the Zotac GTX 1060 3GB or looking at something like the i5 4690k or the new Zen CPUs if they come out before Christmas.

 

Games I Play:

Arma 3

Overwatch

Black Desert Online

Space Engineers

 

So if you just wanna say upgrade GPU or CPU please do so,

If you would even like to recommend me a new GPU or CPU (haswell plz, cuz mobo) thanks.

Just remember CAD not USD too many times that was messed up.

What's your budget?

Moved to New Builds and Planning.

If you want to go with the Zen CPUs then expect a new system build. 

 

Id go for a new CPU that will last a long time, then hopefully 1/2 a year later to upgrade the GPU.

If you're fine with running lower graphical settings, you can get a 4460 now. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/F63RsY/intel-cpu-bx80646i54460

Otherwise, you can go with an i3 and 1060 3GB if you just need more threads.

CPUs last longer, I would begin there. An i5-4460 costs around $200

 

With the other $100, look for a used graphics card, that's where the value is. Used HD 7950s and 7970s are great value if you can find them for $100.

 

Edit: It may be hard to run a HD 7970 on an EVGA 430W PSU. It's doable, but you will need PCI-E adapters and it will cave into the life of the PSU. At least the EVGA is unlikely to kill your components when it gives out. Instead look for used GTX 770s or 960s.
