I'm planing to upgrade my PC by the end of the year but since not a whole lot will be released till then I'm seeing what I should upgrade first.

 

Current Build:

 

i5 6500 -> Alpfenföhn Brocken

Gigabyte B150-HD3P-CF

XFX 380X 4GB

Kingston HyperX 8GB 2133 Mhz

 

Those are the main things to upgrade because the rest is pretty okay.

 

So should I get a new GPU first or a higher tier CPU like a 6700 but I can't oc with that board so I'd love some input.

 

Thanks in advance ❤️

Ryzen 3000 is launching late spring(ish) and rumors have navi scheduled for a mid-late summer launch. I'd lean more toward saying getting a graphics card now and see if ryzen 3000 is good when it launches. But I'm seeing the 6700k cheaper than the 6700, and it's stock performance is better, so if you plan to upgrade either go for the 6700k or the 7700k (mobo should support the 7700k with a bios update, if you go that way do the update while you have that 6500 or you'll regret everything) there's all of $40 difference between those CPUs.
