But what do you guys think?
Your computer isn't bottlenecking any other components at all, they're all in the same range honestly. And performance wise, it depends what you'll be doing with it, if it's for games a new GPU will definitely be the better upgrade if you had to choose, anything over $200 the processor will probably bottleneck but it'll be a better performance increase than say, getting a 2500k and keeping your current graphics card.
Okay, thanks for the help.
