Hello. I need to upgrade my pc to run the games i play better. But i have no experience in upgrading a pc. What should i upgrade first?

My specs:
CPU: AMD FX(TM)- 8300 eight- core processor 3.30 ghz.

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7700 series.

What are the rest of your specs?

Between those two, the graphics card is the one that gets the upgrade preference. But you have to check your power supply to make sure that it can handle a heavier graphics card.
