Biggest bottleneck for my gaming pc?. I recently purchased a computer for gaming and after playing for a month on WoW with it I was slightly disappointed in it's performance compared to my old computer. I get 20ish fps and minor stuttering in high population...

Most importantly, I want to upgrade the graphics card because it's mostly used for games and I feel that the graphics are the biggest bottleneck at the moment. The important info is.... Mobo : Asus A8V-E Deluxe Processor : Processor x86 Family 15 Model...

that's a pretty good gaming machine...), and in a year, get that 4800+ and just drop it in... Might be a good idea pricewise. In any case, once you get a fast-ish cpu (any of the above), your biggest bottleneck for games is the graphics card, so if money...

i want it to happen NOW. I don't want to wait even just a second for each thing i click. Also with gaming, i don't want to wait to long when i switch realms for example; i'm gaming so LET ME GAME! Ofcourse during the gaming itself HDD performance is not...

it may just be me. I am beginning to think that the biggest Bottleneck to PC Gaming is Console Gaming at this point, all the "new" games coming out look graphically dumbed-down for the consoles. I have an older system with an 8800GTS 640 and all I have...
