Hello,
I wanting to upgrade my "gaming pc" but I'm not sure what to replace first, my gpu (hd 8470d) and replace it with a gtx 750ti 2gb or my cpu (Apu a6 6400k) and replace it with a APU A10-6800K Quad-Core (can only change to Apu because of my motherboard). Either way there is most likely going to be bottlenecking.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

Correct either way there is probably going to be bottlenecking. If your CPU isn't being maxed out I would update the GPU first.

id go with the gtx 750 ti for now and then upgrade to an intel i3/i5 later on. or in your case the a10-6800k (or a8-6600k it is cheaper but it has same performance - just overclock it - i could safely overclock it to 4.5 without increasing voltage and using stock heatsink) - or go with the cheaper quadcore trinity apu with a high clock frequency (all apu are the same richland - trinity - and kaveri in terms of processor power the only difference is their integrated gpu)
