If you are overloading your CPU, it's almost always because of some really dumb MySQL/PHP, where a PHP script is abusing the hell out of MySQL. Best to fix the script. More RAM is always better.
Remote or dedicated SQL server is also a good idea if websites and scripts depend heavily on it. Also for security reasons. + external CDN reduce loads, especially if you have bigger files.
