Won't let me post links so i did the specs.

running fine and good atm but looking to upgrade to something better, looking to spend around 200-300 less is better cause I still need to buy another hard drive

any thoughts would help

It won't help in WoW btw, R5770 is powerful enough for it as long as you dont push multisampling setting too high. If you're currently lagging, problem is probably CPU.

i said i was running fine, not lagging, just want something a little better

Radeon 6950 or GTX560ti are popular choices in that price range, both around $260. Both perform basically the same, but there's a slight chance of unlocking the Radeon card to 6970 if you wanna risk it.

Unfortunately a little better will set you back $175-$200 out of pocket, which is what you'll need to spend for the next tier. In all honesty its probably not worth it, unless you want to run games on a higher resolution, say 1920x1080 but even then that doesn't really justify the cost.
