Hdd to ssd or gpu?

[Jonkero]

Hey, so i'm just wondering which one should i upgrade first,

my pc build is using gtx 760 cu II 2gb

and 1TB hdd ,

i have played nicely with that setup but loading times are little long sometimes,

so i was thinking ssd,but still i think i need new gpu to keep playing with graphics.

so should i upgrade my old hdd to ssd or gpu?:3

Used ssd is a bad idea.  Used GPU is fine though.  How much are you willing to spend?

Yeah each SSD has a maximum amount of writes/reads built in, unlike a HDD that will just fail once the mechanical pieces break . Once it reaches that predetermined number it will die. So that being said a ssd greatly improves load time performance with games. But at this point getting a decent GPU would be a better investment, then you can always spring for a 120-256 ssd in a few for your most played games.

Yeah I'd slap a $100 (brand new) 250 gb 850 evo or the slightly less expensive (but not as good) 275 gb MX300

PSU model?

 

I would say your build is pretty balanced and still good enough. If you feel that you need upgrade your PC, then do a big upgrade (CPU, RAM, mobo, GPU)

Hmm, a great budget option there is just throwing in a cheap 2600/2700k and a new  GPU (RX 570/580 or a 1060/1070)

Any from tier 1-3 is good enough

So example this should be very good psu for my rig?  BitFenix 650W Whisper M

[Sanctorum]

GTX 760 should still perform somewhat similarly to an RX 460/560 or GTX 1050, so a budget card wouldn't really be an upgrade from it. An RX 570 or 580 would be a nice upgrade, but the 760 should still perform fine. Adding an SSD would be the best move IMO. Add an SSD alongside your HDD now, and keep your 760 for another year or so, then you could upgrade to an entry level/mid ranged GPU of the next generation which should be a nice upgrade for a decent price, and the GTX 760 will last you until then.
