MY SPEC:
Core 2 Duo E7400
4GB RAM DDR2
P31-ES3G MOTHERBOARD
450watt PSU
GT220 1GB DDR3

so which 1 better
CHANGING to PENTIUM G,NEW MOBO,AND RAM OR NEW GPU R7260X 2GB DDR5 I know new gpu will bottleneck but I don't care :D.

I hope new spec help me to play GTA V no need to high setting just low or very low.COD GHOSTS too.

I'd say go with the GPU. Your dual core should be enough to run a bunch of games and it will be a much larger improvement than getting a Pentium G.

Basically, you'd only gain some speed from swapping CPU and other stuff, but your GPU compared to a 260x is like night and day comparison.

He means you will see a HUGE improvement if you upgrade the GPU from GT220 to a 260x
