GPU who? CS:GO cares more about your CPU. Make sure it's a good one.

Yeah, CS:GO is pretty CPU-intensive. It leans more on your processor for performance rather than just your graphics card. So if you're looking to boost your FPS, upgrading your CPU might be the way to go.

CS:GO can run on a potato if you tweak the settings right. But yeah, it's more CPU-dependent for sure. Higher CPU speed = smoother gameplay, especially in those intense clutch moments!

Actually, a balanced PC setup is key. Don't just throw all your budget at the CPU. Yes, CS:GO relies on it, but a decent GPU won't hurt either.
