Hi, im sorry if this is just another repost asking "if my system is good", but im a huge nerd with games, and i have some knowledge on computers and such, but i too get really low FPS in WoW when in fights, yet i get 80 fps everywhere else. Other games like METRO: Last light i get good FPS with SSAO at x2/x16. BF3 i think i get like 20-40, RIFT i was at like probably 30 fps if i lowered the settings to like medium. I just want to know if you guys happen to think, what i think, would be the parts in my setup that would be the bottleneck(s).

CPU- AMD Phenom II 975 Black Edition @3.6Ghz OC'd to 3.8 Ghz using BIOS
Cooling for CPU- Corsair H50 liquid cool
GPU- Week old GTX 770 4gb EVGA 1536 cuda cores
Ram- 16gb (not sure what the exact brand is, got it from best buy)
PSU- 650w TX by Corsair
HDD- 1TB stock asus
MOBO- Asus M4A88T-V EVO
Tower Chassis- NZXT Phantom case (Big, very big, with 7 fans currently running)
Now after alot of research over a couple of years (especially after MoP dropped) of looking into what parts of mine are good/bad need replacing/can stay i upgraded my ram up from 8gb thinking thatd help but no cigar yet. Do you guys think that the MOBO i have happens to play a small roll in reduced FPS and possibly affecting the overclocking capabilities im trying to acheiv with higher OCing on my CPU? Along with the PSU, would that happen to be not giving the GPU, or the .2 Ghz OC'd processor enough power to sustain the graphic demanding games? Note: i have tried to OC my CPU much further but i crash when i get anything above 3.9 ghz, so im thinking the motherboard cant handle it, or the PSU cant put ou t that much power? If you need any additional information i will be more than glad to further explain. Thanks much

I would say your CPU bud, drop it dual cores aren't very good for gaming...What is your budget? I might be able to put together a new motherboard and cpu for you...Also I would like to know what speed your ram is since that motherboard only supports up to 1333 MHz.

I guess i dont really have a budget, as long as it wont be like 450 bucks for a cpu and mobo lol. Ive been thinking of switching over to intel because i read a thread that AMD cpu's are hard of taking in all the graphics in WoW and games of that nature. But as for the Ram, Im not sure what to look for for the "Speed", the DRAM Frequency according to CPU Z is 720. Mhz NB Freq 2160 Mhz
