What is your input on this?

Hello,  I am looking in buying a new GPU and CPU and everyone tells me to buy the CPU first and then the GPU once I get the money for one.  I am looking into getting a i7 4790k and a gtx 980Ti.

 

Someone commented on one of my threads saying this,  

 

"A lot of people have it in their mind that the FX-6300 will bottleneck any higher end GPUs, and it will, so they're trying to prevent that. The issue is that if you upgrade to a new CPU, you won't see any added benefits. With a new GPU, you'll see a lot more frames, but your GPU won't be utilized fully.

 

Just think about it like this.

 

New Graphics Card = More frames now, even more in the future.

New Processor/Motherboard = Same frames now, a lot more in the future."

 

This makes a lot of sense to me but why do a lot of people recommend to get a CPU first and then a GPU ?

 

Thanks

the reason they tell you to do it that way is because is you get the GPU first and you have low end CPU then you cannot fully utilize the New and expensive GPU you just got, Unlike the CPU that you will use no matter what.

if u'll still have the parts around you can play around with them and see for yourself what gains how much , but yeah - for your case - CPU 1st then gpu

I mainly game but I do some Video/photo editing and a bit of music production.  And I have seen that the i7 can really make a difference in some games.
