Hi I've been playing wildstar beta recently and my pc struggled to run the game smoothly. Im just after some advice on what components i should upgrade and what to upgrade to.

My System.

Motherboard: AS Rock K10N78
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2 GHz Quad-Core
Memory: 4GB 667mhz DDR2 Ram
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 460 SE

Thanks for your time.

**Nobody Knows**
Notoriously 'laggy' and a new game engine still in beta, likely to be patched when it goes full-time live, after weeks of server crashes at launch ...

If you have a C3-stepping PhII 955BE I'd move it to an AM3+ motherboard with 8GB of RAMs, and over-clock it to 3.8- to 4GHz. A C2-stepping will likely clock to 3.6GHz or so and will likely push things nicely. Without knowing much about the new engine it's hard to guess how much CPU you need to throw at it.

If it is anything like WoW, your GPU should work okay --- it's roughly equivalent to an R7 250X/HD 7770. Same 'unknowns' apply to the GPU as the CPU.
