Hello!
I would like to upgrade my PC a bit to get some more frames in games (I have 144Hz monitor so...you get it). However, I'm not sure if I should put some bucks into CPU or GPU. What do you think? :)

My setup is:
CPU: Intel i5-4460
Cooler: SilentiumPC Fera 2 HE1224
MB: MSI B85-G41 PC Mate
GPU: Sapphire Nitro R9 380 OC
RAM: Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL10 HyperX Fury Blue
PSU: EVGA 500B

In my area there are sometimes some good offers from people around, for example I could sell my i5 and buy i7-4790, that would cost me like 110 euro. But I don't know if that upgrade is worth the money etc.
 
Solution
If you are wanting more fps upgrade your GPU. A GTX 1060 or RX 480 is what I'd recommend. Actually, the GTX 1060 would be better because of lower power consumption.
