Ok so my PC is gradually slowing down and has been for years. Currently while playing world of warcraft from my main hard drive which is an SSD on the lowest settings I am sitting at 2-25 FPS(frames per second). Opening programs and even folders takes 2-10 seconds even after a system reset wiping all data from the ssd .( I do have 3 secondary hard drives that are 90% full each with 500g space).
I had planned to purchase parts to build a new PC but got advice to wait until october/november for better deals/better hardware. My current PC is 12 years old.
My current PC specs:
Alienware: Area 51 (2008)
12 year old pc
Windows 10 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @2.67 GHz
RAM: 18 GB
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
I plan to spend 2-3,000$ on parts to build it myself and currently have an idea on what to get on pcpartpicker.
Is it worth waiting a few months or should I just upgrade now?
