GPU, always.

GPU is the most important for gaming. A mid end CPU will usually do the job. This is coming from someone with a FX-6100, a 120 dollar cpu.

If you're going to be gaming, more on the GPU.
If you're going to be rendering a lot for whatever reason (and if applications support GPU rendering)
then still spend more on the GPU.

If you're going to be rendering on the CPU and not much gaming, then pick the CPU.

What the others said. More on gpu if you will be gaming a lot. That is a good cpu though.

Here is one possible flip around. p/QPMkWZ

not everyone built their PC yesterday.
this PC is a year old.

If I was to get a modern day equivalent of my PC right now, I would have chosen the GTX 750 Ti and a FX 6300/8320

I'm guessing the Radeon 7850 wasn't $110 at the time.

As long as the cpu doesn't bottleneck the gpu. That is the goal. You want a great gpu with a cpu that won't hold it back if you plan on gaming.

You could get the pentium g3259 and overclock it with a 212 evo.
Should be fine.

@Super

I know that's a air cooler and all, but I can name a few air coolers that can beat it and many water coolers that can beat it.

"but dans that is a water cooler why r u saying water coolers can beat that when it is only a air cooler"

You want your PC's components to be as lowest temps as possible.
I saved a future argument there, so yea, lol.

@Anti

Water cooling>Air cooling.

Water cooling is more effective in taking the heat away from the components versus Air cooling, generally.
