The CPU is pretty weak, but what is your current GPU? Depending on what you have, it may be a better upgrade.

I don't know what kind of graphics requirements the game has, but I feel it would be a safe bet to say that you would benefit more from a GPU upgrade. I'd wait for the game's release, then test it on your current setup. If the framerate is bad at the detail settings you want to run it at (it probably will be) then get a new GPU... just keep in mind that depending on your PSU, a more powerful GPU might need a PSU upgrade as well. u_u
