Hi guys

I currently have a10 5800k as my cpu and 750 ti as my gpu.

I want to upgarde it to i5 6500 and 1060 6gb respectively however I can only do so one at a time due to budget restrictions

I would like to know what part should i upgradr first that would give me considerable change in speed for gaming and multiple apps running the same time

Thanks in advance

Get the 1060 now, then move it to the new Intel platform later. If you get the new platform first, you won't see any improvement in gaming as long as it is held back by the 750 Ti. However, adding the new card now will make a huge difference even with the APU bottlenecking it.
