Parts Preferences: not sure what I need to upgrade... I am already seeing sub 60fps performance on games like diablo 3. I played close beta for Wildstar and had everything on medium settings and the game stuttered quite a bit.. couldn't of been more than 30 to 40 fps on my 1200p monitor.
Overclocking: Maybe (never done it before but open to it)
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200 or (thinking about getting a 1080p 120/144hz monitor soon)
Additional Comments: (e.g.: Need to have a window and lots of bling, I would like a quiet PC. Please also list specific software or games you're using)
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: FPS seems to drop to fluctuate between 40 to 60 fps on diablo 3 and that I am having difficulty running Wildstar on medium setting.
