I've got my old PC up and running again. I'd like to try to upgrade some of the components on it so it is better able to run the few games I play like Lord of the Rings Online and World of Warplanes. I'm hoping to be able to play War Thunder on it also, just to give you an idea of what I need to cover those bases.
It's currently running with an i3-3220T chip, 8GB DDR3 and onboard graphics. With that I'm just about able to play LOTRO and WoW, although the frame rates are low at critical moments. From what I can gather, I'd be able to upgrade to;
i7-3770 chip
16GB DDR3 via 2x8GB sticks
Can anyone tell me if that would make a significant difference, and which GPU I'd be looking to use with it? The PSU is an AC Bel HBA005-ZA2GT 350W. Would I also need to upgrade this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
