Additional Comments: I built this PC last year or so with the help of your forums. At the time, my budget was limited. I now have some money available for perhaps a few key upgrades and was hoping for some guidance. I would like to be able to run the games mentioned above at ultra/max settings with a consistent 30+ fps. For example, in WoW, this isn't a huge issue in 10 man raids, but in 25 man, my fps has been dropping to ~10. My current build:
