Hi there. I built my own computer some time ago and have been mainly using it for world of warcraft since the game came out. I have upgraded some of the parts a few times and its current specs include:
1 gig (256x4) corsair twinx low latency ram which is 2 sets of matched pairs. They are running in duel channel dynamic mode with performance acceleration tech enabled
A Pentium 4 2.6c with hyperthreading
A dfi lanparty motherboard 875 pro
An ati radeon 9800 pro video card
I am wanting to upgrade now because I am not getting 30 FPS in world of warcraft with the settings turned up how I like em and at the resolution I like. (1280x1024) Also, I like to alt tab a lot to look things up on the internet that relate to the game and the computer is very sluggish when I do this and internet explorer takes a long time to load.
I basically need more multitasking and better game performance.
The 4 pieces I want to upgrade to are as follows
Processor: AMD 64 bit x2 3800+
Memory:
TWINX2048-3200C2
XMS3200 2048MB 2-3-3-6 2x184 DIMM Black
Motherboard: http://us.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_product_spec_details_r_us.jsp?PRODUCT_ID=3872&CATEGORY_TYPE=LP&SITE=NA
Socket 939, AMD Athlon 64 X2/Athlon 64 FX/Athlon 64/Sempron, 2000MT/s, SLI Technology, PCI Express, Dual-Channel DDR400, CMOS Reloaded, Karajan audio module (8-channel), S/PDIF, 8 SATA with RAID, 2 Gigabit LAN, 2 IEEE 1394 and 10 USB 2.0.
Video card: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/vga/vga/pro_vga_detail.php?UID=689
Geforce 7800GT
Should these components make for a major upgrade and give me what I want, or should some of them be changed?
