Looking to build another computer!

[Tmbryant91]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to build another computer for gaming purposes. My current rig was put together about 6 years ago on a $1500 budget and it's just not cutting it anymore. I have to play on low settings and run around with 30 FPS and that drops down to about 8-10 during dungeons and raids. I'm looking to get a computer that I'll be able to play on max settings without any problems whatsoever. I would like to maintain close to 100 FPS as well.

My budget for this rig is about $4000. I'm also interested in replacing my monitor and going for a dual monitor setup.

Thanks in advance!

There is something else majorly wrong if you have to play at those settings or you had an AMD PC, even then there is something wrong.

Secondly, 100 FPS in raids (Mythic raids) isnt possible in any setting, cba explaining further again and again, you can maintain a perfect balance between 50-70 with decent settings though.

4000$ is major overkill, doesnt matter how much money you throw, it wont run better, WoW is old.

Just an example.

Only put 1 screen, not even sure if you want 1080p you wanna go 1440p so, can change that yourself and add a second monitor.

If this is for WoW, remember it wont make a difference how much money you throw, the 7700K combined with whatever price scaling or PC is pretty much your performance.

What he said above, WoW has a big time plateau effect once you hit a certain level of hardware. That said, it seems you got some buck to spend, this is what id build within reason:
