Upgrade Ideas, please

Hello,

I am looking to upgrade my PC because it is a bit old. Currently I am using a GT 530, Intel Celeron G1610 @ 2.60Ghz (FCLGA 1155 I think) and 4GB DDR3. I am looking to upgrade it for smoother experience in CS:GO.

Should I keep the GPU and buy new CPU, RAM and MB or should I buy better CPU and add more RAM? I have a budget around $200 USD for now.

Thanks in advance!

for CS:GO, i'd say replace the g1610 with an used i5, a gtx 750ti and an extra 4gb of ram. but what psu is your pc using anyways?

You should probably upgrade your cpu, ram, and mobo to an i3. The game isn't to intensive on the GPU so you could easily play the game on high settings at 60fps with the current card and an 13. Is that the only game you are trying to play?

You can go for the G3258, pair it with a Z97 and overclock the shit out of it
