Hi guys. I just recently tried to run WoW un Ultra on my PC whilst recording via Fraps and my framerate drops substantially. I never really had this issue, and am now currently recording on "Good" quality.

I'm upgrading my PC asap. Was thinking that my graphics card needs updating and possibly getting a new HDD (SSD?)

I play mostly WoW but yeah. I'm budgeted at the moment so keep it under $300 please.

My apologies if I sound kinda demanding but although I know how to install PC parts and what they do, I'm not too sharp on what to upgrade for maximum performance.

Thank you in advance!

If the problem only happens when you are multitasking vs just playing the game without trying to record, your cpu my be the issue.

If you just generally want to improve frames per second when gaming, then a graphics card upgrade is in order.
