Budget upgrade

Hey guys I currently have my mom set up with Dolphin on a low end comp I put together a while back and would like to upgrade it so she could get some better looking graphics and performance while playing. Having a hard time pulling 30 fps on rune frontier on every low possible setting. She doesn't really mind.. but I feel like she should at least be getting a rock solid 30 fps with no slow downs.. Here are the current specs

MSI LGA1155/Intel H61/DDR3/A&GbE/MicroATX H61M-P31
Intel G540 CPU 2.50 GHZ 2M CACHE
EVGA GeForce 8400 GS
Antec Basiq BP350 350
Corsair XMS3 8GB

I'm thinking if I upgrade the graphic card to a GTX 1050 or maybe 1050 TI, she should be set.
but what about that CPU? will that be the bottleneck? should I upgrade that instead?

what about upgrading the cpu to 3570K and keeping the 8400GS?
or will both have to be upgraded to truly gain some performance?

Thanks guys
