    with that system on a 25 man raid and only if it is on hc i have 40fps during a boss fight and 20 fps when the boss will use an ability that is intense for example on Ji-Kun when he is doing the Quils ability the wow settings during the raid time is everything on low exept antisotropic wich is on x2 resolution is on 1920x1080
    1st of all i will like to add that mu budget is kinda low so im trying to find the cheapest solution with the best possible resalt
    so next week im planing to change the processor with a Intel Core i5 3470 (s 1155 , 3.2 GHz , 6 MB) 2 or 3 weeks later i will upgrade the ram from 4 to 8 giga and i will change the graphic card GIGABYTE GTX660 OC 2GB GV-N660OC-2GD

    my questions are
    1st of all will my motherboard be able to work with those things ?
    2nd as i said 1st i will change the processor only till i will get the graphic card and the ram upgrade will i see significant fps increase and if yes how mach
    and last when i will change the other parts also (graphic card and ram) what will be my final fps on a raid enviroment keep in note that i will be more than happy if i will play on normal settings as i play now on low

    sorry again for my bad english feel free to ask me anything if i forgot to add something and thanks

    You cannot fit the 3470 (1155 socket) into a 1156 socket, you would need a new motherboard.
    I don't think you will notice much going from 4-8 gb ram unless you have alot of background programs open, you will however notice improvement going to faster ram speed like 1600MHz.

    I think you could be playing perfectly fine with ultra but shadows turned down with that machine.

    Just a reminder, you oughta wait 1 month for the new CPU's.

    Something like this

    PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

    Motherboard: MSI B75MA-E33 Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard (€48.99 @ Amazon France)
    Total: €48.99
    (Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

    What is your budget overall? Perhaps parts from amazon are cheaper, they should also deliver for free to Greece.

    If you can wait a month more for a possible 10 % more performance on the new CPU's then do that.
    3570K will still last you many years if you do not wish to wait.

    CPU Cooler to keep your CPU from overheating when overclocked.

    Guide to get you started on overclocking. It's a pretty big increasement in FPS for WoW.
