Hello, I recently bought a PC that came with these specs, and want to know if i should upgrade anything like my graphics card? Mainly want to play WoW at Ultra currently can only play at low with 30FPS. Help would be greatly appreciated.
AMD FX-6300 Six-Core Processor
8GB DDR3 RAM
AMD Radeon R5 200 Series
Windows 10

wildly depends on your motherboard and PSU

that GPU is pretty weak, you should upgrade.
but we need to know what board you got and the exact model of your PSU (there's a sticker on it)

My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 and my power supply is a 115-230VAC, 8A/48, 50-60HZ 500W. Was not completely sure if i answered correctly, Also there is a number at the bottom that says AP150*003

is there the brand and model written on the PSU?

generally a GTX1050/1050Ti could maybe be compatible (depending on the PSU)

Apevia Venus power series VN500W possibly?

alright.
cheap low end PSU.

can't really give a recommendation as those PSUs often lie about their true performance and are pretty unstable
so I won't give a recommendation as I cannot forsee what will happen if you plug in a more powerful GPU.
I just don't wanna take responsibility or give you advise that might fry your whole system, sorry.

Hello
Wow is very cpu bound and even with a good gpu you won't gain many fps because of the weak single core performance of the fx 6300. Wow is a game that only uses 2 cores to it's fullest and thats why the fx 6300 is not a good choice for that game. Your power supply you posted is really crap and I would suggest replacing it before you upgrade anything because it might fry your system.

While I recommend getting a quality PSU, I wouldn't bother going beyond a GTX 1050ti, with that CPU, regardless.

Alright is there any specific power supply you would recommend? Do you think i should replace my cpu and upgrade my gpu or just save that money to build an entirely new pc?

I would recommend saving up and building a new system. Intels 7th gen just launched and Ryzen is around the corner.

This is a nice PSU, and going for a pretty good price, right now.

More wattage than you really need, but a quality modular unit.
