Hi folks!
So I mainly play World of Warcraft, watch movies, and surf the web on my PC. I also play games like Oblivion, Battlefield, etc. Lately, it's been frustrating me because my PC is extremely laggy; software will take forever to load, and just generally be sluggish. If I have too many chrome tabs open, it will start crashing. I get low fps in World of Warcraft in highly populated areas, or raids.
Unfortunately I'm currently in the middle of transitioning to a new job and a new apartment so my budget is tight and I can only upgrade one big ticket item, or purchase two small upgrades to my system.
CPU: i7 860
Memory: 6gb DDR3
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX+
And crappy non SSD hard drives .
I'd like to know which component to upgrade. I can probably get either a CPU, or a combination of Memory + SSD/GPU. A complete rebuild is planned, but that's a couple months down the line cause I'd like to go all out when I do that. But for now, my budget is $200-$300 and I'd like to speed up my pc a wee bit.
Thanks for your time, and sorry for the long winded post .
