Dad's 7 Year old PC that needs to be upgraded

[LeeHeintz57]

The title says it all really. I am a 30-year-old father of 3 and I just don't have the time I used to have to give my PC the loving it deserves. My pc has been slowly preventing me from playing the games I want to play. I am still running windows 7 with the inability to upgrade to 10 for some reason. And recently my graphics card took a huge crap and I had to downgrade to a previous card I had. I really just want to play the newest wow expansion at a playable framerate. I do not have thousands of dollars to spend on a new rig. Any suggestions as to what may be a decent prebuild machine for me to purchase would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance.

Put an extra 8gb stick of ram in it.

How much do you have? What are your current specs? 7 years ago was sandy bridge era, if you have one of those upgrading the graphics card should be enough.

i assume you have 8 gb ddr3 memory an old intel, a hd and a ssd(i hope)

if this is your current config i will suggest you tu build your pc it is really easy and it can even be a fun experience 

of your pre existent build you can keep the ssd, the hd, the case and maybe the psu

this is around 800$ of course anything that you can take from your old pc is money saved 

with this conifg you will have no problem at 1080p
