Hey guys, as the title suggests I'm basically looking to keep my PC gaming smoothly for a few more months until I have enough to get a new one sorted out.
What I'm looking for is suggestions for some cheap upgrades just to keep it going for a bit, so I can play WoW without the ridiculous amount of framerate drops I currently get (on Low), as well as being able to play some newer games (like Dragon Age: Inquisition) relatively issue-free.
I'm definitely in need of a CPU, as DA:I requires a quad-core, and the one I have now is pretty knackered.
As I've said, I'll be replacing it in a few months when I have enough saved up, and this is meant purely as a temporary easing, so I would prefer to just replace the graphics card and/or CPU for now. I'm based in the UK, so UK or Ireland sellers would be ideal, and would like to keep the cost together around £150-£200, if possible.
If you need to know any more, please ask away, and aye, I'm aware the whole lot is hella old, but I've had next to no money in recent years to replace anything. :P
If you must insist on using a non-sanctioned sitting apparatus, please consider the tensile strength
of the materials present in the object in question in comparison to your own mass volumetric density. In other words, stop breaking shit with your fat ass.
You can get a new GPU later on and eventually add another 4GB stick of memory.

Oh Brilliant! Thanks a lot! Aye, the whole lot will be getting replaced sometime in the new year once I've saved a few months' worth of disposable income!
Is there an option you'd recommend on a quad-core, so I can play Dragon Age, as well, by any chance? Minimum system requirements are not my friend for that game..
The i3 is a psuedo-quad-core thanks to it's hyper-threading(2 cores + 2 virtual cores) and DA:I will run on it just fine. It just refuses to run on straight dual-cores(like your X2 or my G3258) because reasons.

See, I would live with it for now, but it'll be a few months into next year before I can, and it's started being very bad, so I wanted to throw together an affordable bandage-type thing so I could comfortably play until I can get the machine sorted. Able to cash in on Xmas for it, for the most part, anyways.
I very much appreciate the recommendation, though. Thanks very much!
Maybe if you have a bit bigger budget above the 169 pounds, you could get a higher wattage PSU and/or 8G memory. That way you can use it again in the new build. Maybe it is cheaper in the long run. 500W might be okay but might also not. Depends on the graphics card you will buy in 6 months.
