Depends on your needs. If you want a gaming machine you want your GPU to be the most powerful part, so therefore the GPU>CPU. However for other high-compute power tasks that use more CPU horsepower than gaming and need a better CPU, then get a better CPU and save on the GPU.

However, if it is just a temporary thing even for gaming, get a more powerful CPU. CPUs are hard to upgrade because you need to dismantle most of the PC to change it, which includes reapplying thermal paste, and if you need to swap out a motherboard you will need to reinstall Windows as well. GPU changes are quite easy though, just pop out the old one and put in the new, or add a second to run in SLI/CrossFire.
