The answer depends on the type of games you play. Games that require heavy CPU power would gain more from a CPU overclock. For most modern shooters, it usually comes down to the GPU, though this can vary based on component age or other factors. If you have a newer GPU but an older CPU from around 2011, the CPU might need more attention.

It relies on the type of games you enjoy; high CPU usage games gain more from a CPU overclock.

It depends on the type of games you play; games that require a lot of CPU power would gain more from a CPU overclock. What would be the situation for most current shooters?
