Can anyone tell me which is important to run 2014-2015 games.
A cpu and a gpu?

Please i do not want to hear both..
Another question... if Gpu is much better than Cpu, heavy games will run?

Yes, you will be able to run them no problem. Try and upgrade the CPU whenever you next can though, if you get the GPU

Both are important.

The GPU is far more important though, as it does the main crunching in games.

Too slow a CPU however...will limit the GPU. There needs to be a balance.

So if the GPU is much better than the CPU, then no, it will not run heavy games very well.

They will run and they will run very well...

However the CPU is absolutely a bottleneck for the GPU and will limit it to a certain degree.
