but, then in the future no gpu would be supported

without a psu upgrade

Your PC has FH-XD301MYR with one 12A rail and one 16A rail. You will be fine with i7 and 750Ti.

 

If you want then you can upgrade to i7 2500S/2600S (notice the "S") which have same power consumption as i3...

Which Shoud i get first

Sure it will make loading websites better/boot times

but my 3ds max times are like 6+ hours for 15 seconds worth of content

An SSD won't make loading websites better if this means faster.

 

As for the choice, which do you think you would benefit from more?

A better GPU will improve your gaming experience way more an SSD. No point in cutting down game load times if they don't run as good as you want them to.

I game very little like GTA SA, BF3 and NFS MW original thats pretty much it

i was getting mostly for cuda xD

No you won't. Up to i7-2600 is officially supported on the stock PSU.

Hmmm... 

My school's graphics design lab has Acer computers with i7-2600S and they seem to do really well at the 3D modelling software (I believe AutoDesk Maya) that the school uses. I haven't used them myself but I hear good things about the power that they have. 

 

After all, compared to the i3 you are doubling your cores and doubling your threads.
