Please help upgrading my PC

[Trazpz]

Hello guys, i’m about to go upgrade my PC which have got some years and is beginning to run quit slow. What I’m looking for is a PC which are running smooth in game with high fps on at minimum high settings/graphics. I’m playing games like WOW and Steam games. When I’m in Wow it’s lagging when I’m in dungeon and raids, and all in all I get like 50 fps when I’m using below medium settings, and I really want to change that
When I’m running on ultra I get15 fps…
My build is:
CPU: Intel Core 2 quad Q8200 2.33GHz 95W Socket 775LGA
RAM: I have 4gb RAM – Corsair CM2x2048-6400C5C 800MHZ 2048MB (DDR2)
Graphic Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 640
Motherboard: Asus P5QL_VM EPU
Powersuply: FSP group inc. 400W
Windows 8 64-bit standard

Can u tell me which RAM my motherboard is supporting ?
I’m going to by an SSD Hard drive for better and faster boot and faster loading, but I would hear what to buy to make my computer better suitable and faster/stronger with better graphics. Also is there any advice or a new wireless receiver you would suggest. In my room there is bad connection sometimes, and therefore I would hear if you guys knew any good wireless receivers?
My budget is 700$
Thanks 

I don't think you can improve your Internet connection by having a good wireless adapter. It's about your router.

It would be much cheaper to buy a new PC, since your motherboard only supports DDR2 which is very expensive now.

Here's my suggestion:

There's a 120 gb SSD and you can add your old HDD to it.
(INSTALL WINDOWS ON YOUR SSD NOT HDD IF YOU WANT TO IMPROVE LOADING SPEED)

I would get an HDD and a cheaper case to upgrade the CPU and the GPU (if possible).

 

[voyboyfan]

I agree about the case part but it looks smexy 😛, but why the HDD if he can reuse his old one.

The only reason I added a SSD is because he wanted faster loading times.

Here. The case is ATX Full tower hence why it's expensive.
I just didn't want him to have trouble with GPU size.

Hmm, I'd change the rAM to 2x4 GB as it'll run in dual-channel.

This would be the best you can get for around 700$:
