Which should I upgrade first?

Which should I upgrade first for better gaming performance (higher FPS)?   

 

CPU:  AMD 6300 (Stock clock)  would upgrade to a i7 4790k

 

GPU:  AMD HD 7850 2GB (Stock clock)  would upgrade to a GTX 980

 

I am planning on upgrading both,  I am just wondering which I should upgrade first.

You should do a median upgrade because with your one sided upgrade, you won't reach the full potential of the product because of bottlenecks.

I suggest and since you are just doing gaming: i5 4690k with MSI SLI Krait and a 970.

Upgrade the CPU first.

If you got the 980 first you'd bottleneck.

 

(Also you should try to get a 980ti if you can)

What's the price difference of the 980 and 980ti ?

I saw that, but still either way you are getting bottlenecks and for gaming you won't see a difference in performance between the i7 4790k and i5 4690k. They are the same CPUs but the i7 is slightly higher clocked with hyperthreading but games don't benefit from hyperthreading.

What's the price difference of the 980 and 980ti ?

About $150.

If you don't mind, could you give me a link to one on Newegg as I can't seem to find a 980ti on there.  And what are the major differences between the 980 and 980ti ?

I do more than just gaming.  I do Photo/video editing and music production.

Well when you say in the description "What is better for gaming performance" I only know so much of what you are wanting and 100% is of what you type. Anyways a 980ti has 6 GB of Vram with Titan X performance with some areas cut down a little bit but it isn't much knocked off of it. 980ti's will be releasing soon in stores and online so look out for them since the release of the stock version was just the other day.

Sorry,  should have made my self more clear.  I am more of a gamer than anything in the end so it didn't really matter.

That's alright. If you spend 90%+ gaming I would say go with the i5 because spending little time doing the others isn't worth the extra price.
