£500 Upgrade for VR, CPU or GPU?

Hi all.

I've been using an original HTC Vive, playing Blade and Sorcery, Contractors. They are mostly fine fps wise, until you have a lot of people on the screen in B+S, things slow down. My specs are pretty average which is why I got the Vive:

I7-6700
16GB cheapo RAM
RX580

I'm hesitant to get more games in case they run awfully. If you were going to spend about £500 would a new mobo/cpu or graphics card be the way to go?

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll get a 4070 (if it fits in the case) to tide me over after summer and then a 13th gen cpu/mobo later in the year. In B+S it's fine with a couple of enemies but now that I'm getting better at it, 5 bodies and 5 active enemies at the same time really slow it down.
