Since your only doing WoW you shouldn't need too much horsepower, im surprised you got those results with a 960, though i'm guessing your cpu is holding you back. It's honestly kinda difficult to upgrade with that what with having to buy a new cpu, mobo, and ram. Though I'd check around on newer pentiums where theyre around $60~. Again with that you'd need a new mobo so you're looking at another $60~. After that you can't reuse your old DDR2 Ram you'll need DDR4 most likely so another $50-60 for 8gb of ram. Sorry but you'd be lookin at a price tag of around $170 or more, if thats not in your price range you might want to look at used pc's on ebay and check for some newer generation cpu's.

Posted June 28, 2017 Author I have a evga 600watt and the MoBo is a GA-MA78GM-US2H. The 200$ won't break the bank. Also the baby has everything needed. It just doesn't hurt to have the extra emergency cash on case of who knows what.. in the given case eating 1080 >-< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
