upgrade or not

[Deleted]

Hello,
Got an i5 760 4gb ram and gtx275. Wonna play legion ( come back after 4 years) at high detail 1920x1080 in raid 10/25 man with 45+ fps during encounter with addons. Do you think that changing gfx card with gtx750ti and adding 4gb i could do that ? Or i need a whole new rig?

Regards.

You're definitely going to need a new rig. Being that currently on 10 settings(maxium without AA) with 1080s and high end CPUs can't keep it at 60FPS reliably in populated zones.

Dont need ulta setting, just high. And also need 30 min/60 max fps during raids.

On high settings in raid, you're still going to need an upgrade.

What you suggest on a budget for my needs?

[Denpepe]

Let me start by saying that more ram will NOT add fps, it might make your pc run a bit smoother but that's about it. Now a good cheap upcoming graphics card would be the AMD/radeon RX480 at around 200$.

You CPU is also quite dated but might still run the game decently, if all you play is wow I would suggest a Skylake i3 with a cheap mobo and some ddr4 ram and if your power supply is as old as the rest of your pc I would look into replacing that one too.

If you get in the beta I would suggest you try with the updated graphics card first and see how well it goes and go from there.

Fx6300 seems to be too weak for legion on hight. Should i go for i3 or i5 ? Rx480 as gpu ?

[Mythbredor]

You're going to have a hard time running wow at High settings in raids with your budget but this should do it assuming you can go over budget.

Here is a solid budget build plus the RX 480. Still going to end up spending 700$ the RX 480 isn't on the list being that it hasn't released yet.

You have to have an active subscription to do that I believe.

Not according to comments elsewhere on this forum, but I do have an active sub so I couldn't say for certain without a bit of fannying about.
