I'm looking to upgrade part of my computer to run better for WoD. I don't want to spend more than say $100, any idea what part upgrade would give me the most FPS boost?

I don't know much of anything about computers, I just grabbed this info from dxdiag so if it's not enough I can add what's needed. Would appreciate any suggestions. ^_^

For 100$ you can't upgrade anything that will give you an FPS boost for WoW.
Here is the minimum that will give a boost in WoW:

Ah well thank you for the fast reply, I guess the price I put was a bit too optimistic. Do you know what kind of performance increase that would give? I'd like to be able to play WoD with at least good graphics settings.

That mobo+i3 can have you play at high settings, but probably your gpu will bottleneck you.

As long as I don't need to play WoD in 'Silent Hill' mode I think I'll be happy. Thanks for the reply. :)

i3 can handle ultra with no sweat while soloing etc.

The GPU 650 ti from video is like 130$, if you ever want another upgrade
