Hello,
I have a Dell XPS 8700 with 4th Generation Intel(R) Core(T M) i7-4790 processor (8M Cache , up to 4.0 GHz), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 4GB DDR 3, a 1TB 7200 rpm Hard Drive, and 16GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz (4GBx4).

I play world of Warcraft and multibox 5 instances of the game, My question is, can anything on the dell XPS 8700 be upgraded to run better and faster? and what should I upgrade to?

Thanks for your time!

You should be able to upgrade your GPU - many people running GTX 970's in that setup.

Your CPU & RAM don't need to be touched, they're slightly older but still at the 'upper end' performance-wise.

The biggest problem you're going to have with upgrading the GPU, is the OEM PSU. Do you happen to know specifics of the power supply? I believe there were a couple of options available depending on the exact model but I believe yours is likely to be a 460W PSU?
