Hello my fellow MMO-Champions!
My current PC can't run the lastest games at a stable 60 fps on high graphic settings, which is my goal.
For example: I'm currently running Far Cry 3 on medium-to-high graphic options at around 40-45 fps. Guild Wars 2 spikes from 39 to 54 fps every time I turn around the corner (again, mid-to-high settings). And RIFT.. oh, god; RIFT is unplayable (don't know why, GW2 has better graphics and at the same time runs smoother). Even WoW starts decreasing fps if I go full ultra.
My question would be: What setup should I get to achieve 60fps stable on the games I just mentioned without spending more than what's necessary? (If I can reuse parts of this setup, the better, so I spend less money).
This is my current rig:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 945 @ 3.00 GHz (quad-core)
Motherboard: Gigabyte 880gm-usb3
RAM: 12 GB, DDR3 SDRAM, 670 MHz dram frequency, 2000 MHz NB frequency

Power Supply: Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 550W
