I have these two pieces of hardware in my machine at the moment, which I do frequently use for gaming. However, quite annoyingly, I often experience lag, which I initially attribute to the settings being too high in-game, but sometimes still persist when I lower them. I am aware that the CPU is most likely bottlenecking the system, but I plan to move to a newer Intel CPU after this one, probably a Haswell i5 or i7. I do understand that it will be a lot more powerful than necessary to drive the game with respect to the GPU, but would I see a noticeable performance increase? At the moment I get GPU usage generally between 75-90, but it fluctuates a lot. And vice-versa, would I see any performance gain from upgrading the GPU first and waiting to upgrade my CPU later?
Thank you very much for your time.
