Hello guys, so I just got back to gaming after a 3-4 years pause .My specs are:
Intel Pentium G630 2,70 GHZ
nVdia geforce GT 8800
4 GB RAM ddr3
Now my question is the following:What should I upgrade first ? the CPU or the GPU ?I mostly play csgo at the moment and I get around 100 fps on dust 2 5vs5.If I change my CPU first I will add an i5-7600k and 16 GB ram on an overclockable motherboard or I can get an GTX 1060.As I said I play mostly csgo and I want a big boost in fps.NOTE:I will upgrade the other component next month but rn I want to know what will give me a bigger fps boost.

the cpu, motherboard, and ram combo you are talking about is almost $500 alone.

or...

G4560, 16gb RAM, and motherboard combo is only $260. then a 6gb GTX 1060 for $250. you could always upgrade to the i5(since it's the same socket) once you save more money. if you just want to get your build going quicker by using the cheap $60 but great g4560. think about it you might even end up wanting to stick with the new Pentium for your needs

You don't have a clear upgrade path from there, it's several generations old. MB, CPU, GPU, RAM and most probably new PSU are 90% or more of whole build. If you must choose than upgrade everything and use a cheap but newer GPU for a time until you could afford something better.
