    Given you are on a WoW forum can i assume you play it?

    If so, yes definitely CPU upgrade is what you would want to do next. Sadly tho there is not much upgrade room on the motherboard socket you have, you would need a new board/cpu/memory.

    This is the cheapest/best bang for the buck upgrade path for you:
    PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

    CPU: Intel - Pentium G4560 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor ($78.89 @ B&H)
    Motherboard: ASRock - B250M-HDV Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($62.89 @ OutletPC)
    Memory: Crucial - Ballistix Sport LT 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($59.99 @ Amazon)
    Total: $201.77
    Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
    Generated by PCPartPicker 2017-07-21 14:44 EDT-0400

    The cpu is usually around 15 bucks cheaper, but even at that price it still cant be beat. This would be a massive upgrade to WoW performance, easily 2x FPS probably more.

    Fascinate is completely right on this. This would be the cheapest upgrade path (def best bang for buck if your playing just wow.).

    If you're looking to build to last a bit longer, here is what i would suggest

    PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

    CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor ($197.88 @ OutletPC)
    Motherboard: Asus - PRIME B350-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard ($83.98 @ Newegg)
    Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($59.99 @ Newegg)
    Total: $341.85
    Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
    Generated by PCPartPicker 2017-07-21 15:08 EDT-0400

    Also, depending on the age of your computer, when you purchase either of those builds, get yourself a new decent 500W PSU EVGA 500B is solid and inexpensive. Only do that if your PSU is pushing past 3 years old.

    The other upgrade that should make a large difference is buying a 1050ti for ~$150. It has almost double (80% more) the performance of your current GPU. Normally i would say at least a 1060 or a 570 but both cards are still overpriced.

    No way. Go Pentium, as first suggested.

    Idk about that. Yes he would have an upgrade path later but the synthetic r3 tests arn't quite the game changer Ryzen5 and 7 were. The Pentium is just that good at what it does: currently entry level gaming PC. Because we dont' know what the OP's budget is, that's why i listed a R5 build. With the R5 he gets a processor that "should" last at least 4 years, and will have the AM4 socket which AMD has stated will be the socket for the next line up. The Pentium as awesome as it is does lead you to less of an upgrade path. It will leave you with non-overclock-able upgrade options. Its about opportunity costs really.

    Ryzen 3 is an option with current g4560 pricing, if the OP does not mind fiddling in a bios the lower end 110 dollar ryzen 3 would blow the doors off the pentium g4560. At MSRP tho, amd has nothing that competes with g4560.

    True, talk about a brain fart. With overclocking, the R3s look much better. If you don't overclock price to performance that Pentium chip is just too good. With minor overclock, the R3 does have a good spot. Much, much better than the i3s. If looking for cheapest option for now go with the Pentium. If you can wait for R3 release (which should be much more stable than the R5 or R7 releases) and don't want to spend a lot now, go for something like the build I linked with an r3 1200. It will still give you that upgrade path that'll you'll lose with the Pentium option. If you have the money to throw towards a 1600 now, it would be worth it.

    Hate to bump this thread, but Recently just got enough money for the upgrade. I am looking on pc part picker, and looked up a 1050ti, turns out there are a bunch of different brands and types of 1050 ti. What would you recommend?

    I would not worry terribly about brand. In the grand scheme, theyre all mostly the same. If you're one to overclock your gpu there will be differences. You mostly want to look for ones who have decent cooling. Gigabyte Windforce and Asus' Strix are both good models from trusted brands.

    ok and one last question, a friend recommend i do 2 sticks of 4 ram, says it handles processes better. Any explanation/ recommendations?

    Also would like to add, would bios auto overclocking work with these? or is it better to manual overclock?

    EDIT: Also, cant seem to find anything about my case. Will it be compatible with these parts? and another question, first time really messing with my computer. Will i need to buy a new cpu cooler, or will my work? Also, will i need to buy some new thermal paste to reapply it

    2 sticks of RAM means you can use dual channel mode for a small performance boost but it doesn't matter much in any real scenario. 1 stick of 8 GB is better for upgrading purposes because if you want to go 16GB at some point, adding another 8GB stick is no problem, whereas you'd kinda have to go with 4 sticks of 4GB RAM if you go the other route and unfortunately 4 sticks of RAM quite often can cause instability issues, especially with cheaper motherboards.

    BIOS auto overclocking kinda works sometimes. It's not something I would recommend because doing it manually is just generally superior and really not very difficult.

    I might be blind but I don't think you've mentioned what case you have? So can't answer that one.
    R5 1600 comes with an included CPU cooler which is decent enough, I'm 99% sure it comes with pre-applied thermal paste as well.

    Your friend has old info. That definitely used to be the case, but with modern CPUs it does not really translate to any sort of noticeable performance increase. 1x8GB means it's easier to upgrade to 2x8GB later on down the road and 1x8 is usually a bit cheaper than 2x4 as well, so it's what is most often recommended around here.

    So the Asus - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB STRIX Video Card seems to have shot up to around 400$. Any other recommendations?

    All GPUs are now expensive because of miners.

    1)Did you upgrade your CPU?

    2)Is there any reason to change GPU? 750 Ti is perfectly fine for WoW in 1080p for raiding settings.

    3)RX 560 is cheap, its about 50% faster than a 750 Ti , and a 1050 Ti is 20% faster than a RX 560 pretty much but unless there is something wrong with your 750 Ti , no reason to waste money.

    you should upgrade your whole system. as far as gpu's go with the current influx of prices on new cards i'd say go last gen with the 980ti which at stock speeds is equivalent to a 1070 and overclocked can almost hit 1080 speeds. at the moment you can find them on ebay for 350-400$ miners don't buy them because they use more wattage then the newest gen stuff and aren't efficient for it.
    As far as cpus go get a new intel 8th gen platform that is at least a i5-8400 and you'll be set for gaming.

    Yeah its annoying as hell. And of course, all my friends who were holding out to build their first pc or upgrade theirs are all of a sudden interested.
