Bought my first and current pc almost 6 years ago and it's definitely time for some upgrades. In the meanwhile the only "upgrade" was a new GPU because my old one broke and had to be replaced which was almost 2 years ago.
I would like to play games with higher FPS and some better quality. Currently I usually play WoW or LoL. In WoW my FPS seems fine, until I get in raids where it drops to about 15-20 on 10man encounters and even lower on 25s (fair-good quality). Preferably this would be 60 at most/all times on higher quality. I am also considering streaming some content which afaik is more CPU and internet broadband (20mb down/2mb) related. I tried streaming before but it kept lagging and gave a decent fps drop as well.
I don't want to spend more than necessary and not upgrade a lot as I don't have a huge budget; hoping not more than €300,-. I'm basically most interested to know where the performance of my machine is limited by the most. Thanks in advance!
