So here is my question i have been slowly working on upgrading a pc that i have had for almost 5 years. I currently have about $250 to spend on the next component. Now i know that doing a CPU will help my gaming some but i am thinking that my GTX 750 TI is not liking having two screens attached to it. So should i spend money on a GPU or a CPU? Below is my computer specs

You may be able to upgrade both. You can probably get a cheap CPU upgrade from Ebay (maybe a 4570?) and still have enough left over to get a cheap version of the RX 580

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
