What to upgrade first? GPU VS CPU

Go to solution Solved by Akira Shimazu,

Well. hard to tell actually. i meant for gaming purpose and you want to increase performane go rx570. but, idk whether itll be bottleneck or not. and regarding about cpu. it just gonna change MOBO and cpu. so i think for now just go with rx570 and later upgrade CPU and change MOBO. ryzen 3 220g with b450 pro 4 from asrock its sweetspot for budget

I would put the mb+cpu+ram on sale and get a 2600+ b450 mb + 8/16 GB of memory  (~130-140$ for mb, 60-70$ for mb, 40/60$ for ram)

when you get the money from the kit (probably less than 100$), add some more money to it and get a rx 570 for ~100-130$

 

alternatively, get a rx 570/rx 580 for 100-140$ and spend the difference on better cpu (but it depends on motherboard you have) and 8 more gb of memory (again depends on mb if you can add more)

 

 rx 570 is more powerful than gtx 1050

I think its really bottleneck but maybe worth it while i save up for cpy and mobo upgrade. Thanks :)
