so it would be better to upgrade cpu rather than gpu ?

1920*1080

cpu is clocked to 3.4 under an akasa tower,all i can get out of it. so new/more ram and gpu would be cheapest and best bang ? and the cpu/mobo/ram would be a more powerful overall system, but new gpu in future.
and my cpu will ok for new card ?
cheers for the input

So gpu ram will give fair upgrade now and cpu mob later or mm.
Cheers for the input .
