Hey everyone!
I'd like to upgrade my PC as I have serious fps problems while playing WoW. In LFR I run with 2 fps infight and I have the feeling that my CPU is to blame (won't be a problem with my GPU, it's a geforce GTX 660 Ti).
Currently I own a Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 @ 2.66GHz. I'm thinking of buying at least an i5, probably i5-3570 @ 3.4 Ghz. As my mainboard does not have the right socket for the CPU of my choice I need to upgrade that aswell!
Now my questions:
1) which mainboard would you recommend?
2) currently I have just 3 GB of RAM, should I upgrade that, too?
3) may the problems have another cause? I play with lowest settings possible and even reduced the resolution without a real improvement. just asking, maybe I can spare that money
Further information (as recommended in the sticky thread, thanks chaud!):
budget: up to 400€
resolution: 1920 x 1080
games: mainly WoW, I'd be pleased to play w/o these fps problems. sometimes other games (GTA IV, BF3, Skyrim...)
country: germany
new OS: yes (64 bit, if I upgrade my RAM)
I guess that I could buy even cheaper components but I'd like them to be quiet powerful so that I can use them for a while!
I hope I made myself clear and thank you in advance!
