Hi guys! I'm having a bit of trouble deciding which should i buy first:
a good mobo + better gpu or
a better mobo + good gpu?
b75 + hd7770 or
z77 + (hd 5570 2gb or 6570 2gb or 6670 1gb-- all ddr3)

I really have a tight budget right now only about 185$ or 8,000php for the two and i could only have one combination of the two because currently i've set my mind on buying

i5 3570 with/ without K
4gb of ram ( i will upgrade it to 8 gb in the near future :) )
the others, i think, are not worth mentioning anymore :) )

btw i'll be playing lots of mmorpg, maybe cod, crysis 3, skyrim. is this possible with my above parts? would there be bottleneck if i upgrade it to my ideal build which would be
i5 3570+z77+hd 7770+8gb ram+ 1tb hdd sorry for the bad english hehe

Better GPU gives more performance than a better board with the same CPU! It is basically the CPU and the GPU that drive gaming performance.

The CPU is fine and can handle stronger GPU's here you can look up what HD7770 can do, several games tested use the drop down at bottom left http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Gigabyte/HD_7770_OC/...
