so my mate has a intel core i3 3220 and a 660TI he wants to upgrade ether his GPU or CPU. he was leaning to wards upgrade his CPU first because i told him that if he was to get a 980 which he will be getting in the near future it will be slowed down by the CPU is that right? and would a i5 4690k be good for a 970. he plays games such as BF4 and arma which are cpu heave games so am i right in saying get the CPU first?  

l Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.5Ghz l Asus VII Ranger ROG l MSI GTX 970 @ 1555MHz l

A list of specs would help--not just the brands.
