Depends on what these courses offer.
Assuming the HPC course covers some parallel programming models like MPI, PGAS, OpenMP, etc..
and that the GPU course covers CUDA and OpenCL.. I would take the HPC course first. Familiarizing yourself with one of the standard parallel programming models first will definitely help in understanding the GPU programming models such as CUDA, which need some prerequisite understanding of the SMPD (Single Program Multiple Data) model of parallelism.
