I am looking for some advice on upgrading my computer, which I primarily use for games for the first time.

I currently have an AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series and an AMD FX-4300.

Would it make more sense to upgrade the GPU or CPU first? I do not currently have the budget for both - around $270, which includes a new power supply. I was thinking of upgrading to the RX480, but wanted to see what y'all thought.

Actually there is no much room for improvement on the CPU so ill go straight for the GPU. With 270 you can easily access to a GTX 1060 wich is pretty much all you need and the cap of performance of your current Set-up.
