    RAM
    16,0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24)

    The only thing I would recommend upgrading is the GPU, but which games do you play besides WoW?

    For WoW, many people will recommend GTX 750 or HD 6970 because they are good and are not ridiculously expensive. Both are on sale right now sub-$100 (US dollars).

    That won't be much of an upgrade if any...

    That said I'd wait for a month or two and see what happens with the GPU market when the R9 3xx appear. Should reduce some prices and stuff, hopefully. Also bigger selection of stuff to pick from.

    Agree with Remilia on waiting for R9 300 releases. I guess if you had to have something right away, the GTX960 is a solid card and I believe they're around $200 USD.

    As others have mentioned only worth to upgrade your gpu, cpu still holds its power. Also a 200-250 euro range for gpu is easy, get the gtx960.

    Thank you all for quick replies I thought that would be the case and wanted to make sure. I suppose I'l wait then as you've recommended.
