    Do I need to upgrade or just rebuild?

    I feel like my CPU is starting to lag behind and feel like I either
    A. Need to upgrade so key parts, or
    B. perform a complete rebuild.

    Specs:
    CPU- Intel I-3 2120(sandy bridge) 3.3ghz
    Motherboard- AS rock H61m-HVS(seems to be smaller than the average board)
    Memory- 8gb (not sure on brand)
    Graphics card- AMD Radeon HD 6670
    Power supply- 400watts

    Ultimately I would have $800 to spend on a new build/ new parts. I would not need a monitor, mouse, case, dvd drive, or operating system (dreamspark). I am looking for a build for World of Warcraft and want it to perform at max settings. What would be the best route to go given my situation?(In the USA)

    Guaranteed under budget before MIR (mail-in rebates). If all the rebates come back, you can conceivably add in an SSD or a CPU cooler for overcloking room.
