Need PC upgrade advice.

[Xatruch]

Hello guys!  I built my own PC and in theory this should work just fine, however I feel that I have never achieved the desired performance to play World of Warcraft, which is the main use of my PC, I recently added a SSD and performance increased by a whole lot, but still feel there is something not working properly, I'm thinking of increasing my RAM (or replace it), but I'm highly considering a MOBO upgrade, but I want something that work with the rest of components, without further ado, my rig:

 

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1

CPU: Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.07 Ghz

RAM: 6.00 GB Triple-Channel DD3 1600 Kingston Hyper X KHX1600C9D3K3/6GX (thinking of replacing with G-Skill Ripjaws)

Motherboard: Gigabyte X58A-UD3R (1366 socket)

Graphics: Sanyo LCD 1920x1080 @ 60hz (perhaps my worst decision).

                 Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 ti (EGVA)

Storage: 232GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250G (SSD)

               465GB Maxtor STM3500630AS HDD (SATA)

               465GB Seagate ST3500418S HDD (SATA) 

 (looking to replace both HDD's. Stuck between another SSD or Velociraptor )

 

Case: In-Win Ironclad ATX Full Tower Case

Power Supply: Cooler Master 800w Pro Gold.

 

other Peripherals:

KB Razer Anansi

Mouse Razer Naga

Headset Razer Tiamat 7.1

 

P.S. Everything is factory settings, no overclocking has been done nor hardware has been changed. note: fans, cpu coolers etc.

Any helpful advice will be highly appreciated, Thanks in advance.  X.

 

Thanks to Senzelian for the correction.

 

Edit. Based on my system what mobo/cpu and gpu would you guys recommend?

This is quite an old build man, Try to replace your cpu and MOBO

[xQubeZx]

Well if you upgrade the MOBO you most likley need to get a new CPU too since i dont think CPU's with that socekts sells anymore. But maybe the GPU would be a better upgrade than MOBO? And RAM could probably be upgraded or added more.

 

[EDIT]

 

If you have the money I would upgrade the MOBO, CPU and RAM first and then the GPU. An i5 with socket 1150 a decent motherboard and 8gb of ram would be a good start i think. Beacuse with all that you have plenty of room for upgrades. The i5 could be switched to an i7 later on the 8gb of RAM could be dubbled to 16gb and if its a good motherboard you could go with SLI lots of HDD and so on.

If you don't have for all go  for the GPU

I guess the Mhz number of your DDR3 RAM that you gave us is, not wrong, but not the number we're looking for. That was probably the Mhz it was running at right now. The maximum Mhz of your RAM is probably something like 1333, 1600, 1866, 2100, or so...

With 6 GB you should be fine. You could upgrade to 8GB, but I don't think you'll get much of a performance.

Same with your motherboard and CPU.

I would rather safe for a new graphics card and upgrade the motherboard and CPU together later on when Skylake launches.

Btw.: SATA is the interface. You probably meant Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and Solid State Drive (SSD)

if you're only playing games on this, it would be best to upgrade your graphics card.

 

what's your budget for an upgrade?

what's your budget for an upgrade?

this week $300.00, but anything I buy from now on I look forward to use it after Mobo upgrade. Could go a little higher if

needed.

yes, a graphics card will be very beneficial.

 

i would get the r9 290 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-video-card-r9290aedfd

 

here is it running on ultra in world of warcraft

 

 

But if you can wait for a bit, AMD is releasing their 300 series cards soon.

looks like this is not the right time to upgrade, I was suggested to wait for CPU release as well.

 

      Thanks guys for the advice.
