First of all that is the average FPS and it does to a lesser extent affect the performance the biggest problem is the drop of FPS during graphics intensive moments where the GPU isn't able to render everything, one really noticeable moment is the plumes in titan extreme, with shadows at max they are going to drop the FPS to a level where it actually becomes really hard dodging them. Also the OP wants to run it at max meaning he cares about how the game looks, playing at a lower frame rate is going to affect the enjoyment of the game, at least in my opinion. Also limiting the FPS to 60 will make most spike less noticeable and the only area where the spikes are noticeable are when there are a lot of player characters to render. It all depends on what the OP is going to do in the game. For people who hunt the CPU upgrade might be useful while for people who raid the GPU might be more useful considering that the amount of stuff the CPU renders is less when there is only a few characters and mobs to render.
