CPU or GPU is more important?

Hi,

I have been monitoring my system the last days during the game using perfmon (for CPU, RAM and HDD) and gpu-z (for GPU and VRAM). The results show, that the GPU and the VRAM are the limiting factor. Both are at 100% during the game, whereas the CPU never reaches that limit. Normal RAM never drops below ~1GB and the HDDs are almost at 90% idle time.

So I think it's time to think about an GPU upgrade. The situation might be less worse with the upcoming patches, but I wouldn't count too much on that - in my special case, the GPU seems to be totally outdated which is ok, because I've paid only a few bucks for it

I'm looking for 60+ fps with no stutter. Currently getting an average of 60 but the stutter is annoying. Not really bad but bad enough. And the lack of vsync gives atrocious tearing.
