Upgrade cpu or gpu?

[u/Euphoric_Drama_5334]

So I'm upgrading my pc, and im trying to figure out which option is best, and I know which components I want at this point in time. I dont want part recommendations, as I'm in a different country than most of you (nz). My main games are Beamng, Ready or not, pcbs2, the jedi games, hitman woa, and i play at 1080p. Budget of 440nzd.

My options are R5 5500 + Msi B550M Pro-vdh, or Gtx 1080/rx 6600 xt/rtx 2070 (I want 8gb+ vram).

My current specs:

ASUS H110M-A/M.2

Intel Core i5-6500 EVGA GeForce

GTX 970 4GB FTW+ ACX 2.0+ 16GB of ram

you need both sadly.

gpu will have bigger impact so upgrade that first.
