I was wondering what I should upgrade next. Games I currently play are hearthstone, Wildstar online, diablo and WoW i like to play them at max settings. Am I still capable of playing at max with this rig? A friend told me to upgrade my RAM ASAP if thats true what do i upgrade too? Thanks in advance

Neither of the games you listed should be a problem for your PC. 16 GBs of RAM is plenty. You dont need to upgrade at all.

Why don't you try your games at max and see for yourself?

I do not see any compelling need to upgrade unless, perhaps you are looking at a 2560 x 1440 class monitor or better/

System doesn't really need upgrading. Nice screen and pretty powerful components. If you're just looking to upgrade for enthusiasts sake, I would sell the 7900 and get a 290 - but again, not really necessary.

Dragoras :

Your friend is wrong. 16gb is plenty. Is that an HD 7950 or 7970 in your system? If 7970, your system is pretty much the same as mine. WoW, Hearthstone, and D3 all play fine on ultra for me. World boss Ordos is my only issue. I would get at least a coolermaster Hyper TX3, if you are running a stock cooler, and bump the multiplier to 40. That will put you at 4.0ghz without touching anything else.

Let me add that windows 7 home premium is limited to support of 16gb of ram.
If you wanted more, you would need to change your os.
