    Tips for my desktop

    I posted a couple weeks back asking for advice on which laptop to get because mine had recently been stolen. I still haven't been able to get the money together to get the laptop that I want (with no income as a full time student) but I did get my old desktop I used to play WoW on working once again.

    It seems to be running pretty slow, with a little bit of lag sometimes on websites even, and I was just wondering if there were any parts I could replace to help fix this problem and make it run smoother in games especially. It doesn't really seem to have a problem with running the game, but there are a bit of jumpy parts that I would like to get ironed our while I'm playing WoW or SC2, and I really just don't know which parts would help me fix this problem. If there is any other information you think I should post to help get some advice just lemme know and I will gladly post it asap.

    Pretty much have to replace everything to make it run well..
    New cpu for sure (requires new motherboard + ram too).. new graphics card to improve the framerates... and most likely a new power supply to run the new cpu/gpu...

    Yea pretty much. You should salvage at least the cd/dvd drive.. possibly the case too if it's a decent mid tower case.
