Hi. I will be able to get an upgrade to my rig this christmas and want to know if I should upgrade the cpu or gpu.
I have a geforce gtx 650ti boost 2gb card and an Intel Core i5-3570 Quad Core, 6MB L3 Cache, 3.40GHz (3.80GHz Max Turbo)

What are you playing? Also what motherboard do you have?


The obvious answer is a GFX upgrade but if your motherboard can handle a cpu upgrade there's lots of fun to be had.

Your CPU won't bottleneck any of todays gaming GPUs, so you can safely buy any gaming GPU and be confident that your CPU is going to be fast and good enough to keep up.

EDIT: Oh it's not a K version. Then it might bottleneck a bit since you can't OC
