Which is more of a bottleneck?
I'm looking at upgrading my CPU or GPU, but I don't know which one I need to upgrade for better all around performance.
My GPU is an EVGA GTX 750 (non TI) w/ 1gb of dedicated VRAM
My CPU is a non overclocked Intel Pentium G3258 running at 3.20 Ghz
All help is appreciated.
Edit: My budget is as much as the GTX 970. I don't have a lot of money. But I don't know what to upgrade

He dosen't need a new CPU or more RAM.
What games do you play? Overclocking your CPU might be a good option.
Last time I overclocked my CPU I got into a boot loop and nearly lost everything.
I play resource intensive games, such as GTA V. and games that are famous for being poorly optimized, such as Garry's Mod.

Upgrade your GPU and definitely overclock your Pentium, I've got mine at 4.5ghz right now but it does go higher, I've clocked it at 4.8 before but didn't fancy running it at that all the time. The Pentium can play any game that doesn't need multiple cores and in these games, if you clock it high enough it can be equal to an i7.
If you can afford to upgrade to a 970 then definitely do it, it's a very good card and probably the best card for the money. It won't be struggling to play any games at 1080p for a good amount of time
