Generally GPU's will allow you to achieve a higher FPS while CPU's while affect how consistantly you can achieve higher FPS (if at all). But this is VERY simplified. What are your specs?

Hi justin_106
Could you post your system specs if you have a pc/laptop please.
CPU and GPU are both important but most people end up swapping the GPU out every two years or so due to a new generation of cards coming out.
A graphics card is in charge of rendering the frames for the display and it requires a lot of horse power so to say to do so while the CPU is in charge of pretty much everything else.
RAM is also something you should keep decently big, most people have started moving up to 16GB now, as the CPU then has more room to pass stuff around.

Well truthfully I have seen many posts of FX CPU's having fps drops with the new GTX 1000 series of cards.
My answer every time is 'old architecture', the FX series of CPU's are old and they were not made for the current gen of cards and games out now and neither were the GTX 1000 GPU's made to be used with old CPU's. They were made to be put with at least Haswell socket CPU's as anything older would struggle.
To get the best performance out of a GTX 1000 series card you would need to get a CPU with a newer architecture and if AMD had released their ZEN I'd recommended them but they haven't.... only Intel have released new CPU's so all the people waiting for ZEN have pretty much gone for Skylake.
