I have a q9400 (with a locked bios so I cant overclock it) and a gtx 750ti.
I can't play my games at 60fps so I decided to upgrade.
I can either upgrade my cpu to a pentium g4560 with a new motherboard and ram but the same graphics card or I could upgrade my graphics card to a gtx 950 what should I do??

CPU for sure, a G4560 will greatly improve performance.
Your GPU is still weak as well though, but you can save up $150 for an RX 480 later down the line.

First of all I have a pc which is 6 years old and the hard drives are super slow.I also tried installing windows 10 on it but the hard drives are still super slow and they are only 500gb.So ill buy a 1tb one and an ssd.
