I need help with upgrades for gaming please!

[ImClueless11]

Hi I play World of Warcraft and have been having problems with fps drops when I'm in a big battle I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what all I should upgrade.

Mobo - GA-78LMT-USB3

GPU - Nvidia GeForce GTX1050 Ti

CPU - AMD FX-4130

PSU - 620W Intel ATX 12 V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified

HardDrive - WESTERN DIGITAL WD5000AAKX Caviar Blue 500GB 7200 RPM

8GB Ram

64-Bit Operating System

My budget is around $500. Appreciate any advice on what I should do, thank you.

I would say your CPU is what is holding you back the most. Need the actual make and model of that power supply, also.

Oh sorry, here you go PSU (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817151096)
If it is indeed the CPU that needs to be replaced would I also need to upgrade my mobo and ram ect? I'm pretty basic when it comes to computers so I really don't know what all i would need to make my upgrades compatible. Thanks again!!

Ok, so that PSU is a good one, so you are good there. You would be best served by upgrading CPU, ram, and motherboard. You have the budget to even include an SSD.
