    Need help with upgrading my computer

    Hi guys

    About 2 years ago I have made this budget custom gaming computer. Back then a friend helped me put it together. I no longer have contact with this guy and I would like to upgrade this computer so it has a little more kick. I need some advise which component I need to upgrade. Please be specific. Thanks!

    This is a copy paste from my dxdiag with the viable information I believe you need:

    WoW FPS in a 25 man raid: 10-20 FPS
    Settings: Good

    ------------------
    System Information
    ------------------
    BIOS: BIOS Date: 11/30/11 15:28:23 Ver: 08.01
    Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II X3 455 Processor (3 CPUs), ~3.3GHz
    Memory: 4096MB RAM
    Available OS Memory: 3326MB RAM
    Page File: 3168MB used, 3481MB available
    DirectX Version: DirectX 11

    ---------------
    Display Devices
    ---------------
    Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series
    Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.
    Chip type: ATI display adapter (0x68BA)
    DAC type: Internal DAC(400MHz)
    Display Memory: 2422 MB
    Dedicated Memory: 1015 MB
    Shared Memory: 1407 MB
    Current Mode: 1920 x 1080 (32 bit) (60Hz)

    Most likely I need to upgrade my GFX Card and/or my processor. I would like to play WoW with high settings and with more FPS. Does upgrading my hard disk drives with a faster RPM help as well for gaming?

    I thank you for your kind help.
