is my computer bottlenecking with the following specs?:
ram: kingston hyperx black 8gb
cpu: AMD A8-5600k APu with radeon HD Graphics
graphics card: xfx radeon HD 7900 series 3gb

seems like every game i play i get very low fps, ex: world of warctaft, according to the can you run it website i should be way over reccomended settings


thanks,

matt

Yup, although that's not the only option. You could go with a H77/B75/z77 mobo and an i5 3350p, i3 3xxx, or Haswell versions as well. Although with a 7970, you'll probably want an i5 over the fx 6300 or the i3. It performs a significant amount better.

BTW, the A8 apu is a rather poor cpu for gaming. Especially on WOW, where single threaded performance is key. The i3 or i5 (gor for haswell actually, I don't know why I put down the Ivy Bridge cpu's) will do much better (twice the fps) than an a8, or about ~30%(I'm guessing) faster than a 630.

Also, you won't be bottlenecked. Rest assured.
