I am either getting a new cpu or a new gpu. Which will increase my frames more? Currently I have a SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon R9 270X 2gb and a AMD Athlon X4 860K Kaveri Quad-Core 3.7 GHz. What should I upgrade? Right now I get 120 in csgo and 40 on bf4.

I would upgrade your CPU, while it might not make a huge boost, you cannot go with any higher of a GPU with out serious bottle necking from the processor. sadly that means new motherboard as well.

bit of a dilemma this... the cpu is relatively weak and is likely to hold back a stronger gpu. limiting its fps...
but its the gpu that would bring the highest return in frame rates, if its replaced.

buying a new amd cpu atm isnt a good idea unless you can get an 8350 dirt cheap (and your motherboard supports it) as there new chips will be out later this year.
buying a new gpu isnt a good idea either as amd's new polaris is launching in a couple of months so the price of current gen gpus will likely drop a bit more in response to retailers dumping old stock in favour of new . which means, possibly more options for the money...
