Current GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6570 1GB (0x6759)
Current CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.16Ghz (LGA 775 - Wolfdale)
So like... i was about to buy myself a new graphic card when one of my friends suggested to forget it because my cpu is too old and it would bottleneck anything i bought.
Both GPU and CPU could use an update since they both lag behind times, but i can afford only to change one. Either i buy some high end GPU between 150-200$ or i get an entry tier i3-4130 and thus change my motherboard/ram/cpu.
The question is, which would be more justified/pressing?
Thank you for any insights/suggestions you can offer.
