I bought a eurocom Scorpius p370em laptop last year, running a Radeon hd8970m GPU and an i7- 3632qm cpu. It ran world of tanks HD client on max. Then patch 9.15 came out and everything went down the toilet. My laptop started overheating on every setting until i switched over to the SD client and the lowest possible graphics settings. This is the only way I can run WoT now. I'm thinking I'm done with the whole laptop gaming and am looking to build a PC that I can eventually upgrade the hardware to the new technology coming out in 2017-2018. I'm looking for suggestions for hardware for running the highest possible graphics on WoT. Now having the i7- 3800's, the GeForce 1080 cards out and the new Titan X card coming out. I also have the Rose will gaming ATX Thor V2 tower case in mind since it accompanies the XL-ATX. I look forward to hearing people's suggestions. Thanks in advance.

No amount of processing power will help if the software is a mess.

You can always go lower in specs, especially memory, but you can go higher too.
