I'm trying to prepare for Wow classic in August and I'm thinking about upgrading some parts but not sure if it's worth it or if the 3 year old system I have now is good enough. I will not be overclocking. The thing is I also use this to record over the air HD programs so the computer needs to be fast enough to handle recording and playing the game at the same time. I really don't want to spend $300+ on new parts unless there is a significant improvement.
