    Alright so I play world of warcraft pretty frequently on my pretty old computer. Last year I bought a new hard drive: Western Digital WDC WD1003FZEX.Now I have my windows installed on my new hard drive and world of warcraft on my old hard drive: SAMSUNG HD753LJ.

  The problem is, I have a lot of fps spikes in game during boss fights, pvp, when there are a lot of people around my area, lots of "not responding" issues too. When I don't move or there is not a lot of things going on I have like 80 fps but when things start to move fast it oscillates a lot and I can hear the hard drive working. That is why I think its because of the hard drive.

  What would be the best combo to get the best performance in-game ? Put world of warcraft on the drive with windows, leave them like this, install windows on old drive and world of wacraft on new hard drive ? Or can it be because of the cpu ?

Maybe because you are using 10 years old processor.

Yes. That could be causing issues. Same issue with the DDR2 Ram.

Does it happen before?

If its not then u might want to check the drive health and fragmentation files.

Also u need to monitor your system while gaming to see what causing the spikes whether its unusually high cpu usage or other using msi afterburner+RTSS

But Core 2 duo E6500 is pretty old CPU so i think that might be ur problem.

I have an old system before but it was E6800 with GTX 970 and it can pretty much handle all games i throw at it at the time at low-medium and getting like 30-50fps although cpu bottleneck is present.

You've upgraded your graphics card and even got a new harddrive but forgotten to upgrade the rest of the computer. New modern cpu, motherboard and ram would fix all the problems. Also your old harddrive is slower than the new one, so store WoW on the new one.

can you guys recommend me a better cpu for that socket ?

 

is this good ?

Procesor sh Intel Core 2 Duo E8600, 3.33GHz, 6Mb Cache, LGA775

Bro... Core 2 Duo is dead... Go for a Core 2 Quad. I'm using a Core 2 Quad Q9650 @3ghz with a 12mb L2 cache lga 775 and a gtx 1050 ti. Now I don't know how you're playing with a 1050 and a pentium dual core because that's some crazy bottleneck. With a Core 2 Quad it would bottleneck less.
