Hey guys, I have a somewhat dated machine (built in early 2012), but I'd like to maximize it for world of warcraft: legion rather than rebuild at this point in time. I'm wondering if you'll be able to help me out with it!
the 'recommended' hardware requirements for WoW: Legion:
Processor
Intel® Core™ i5-3330, AMD™ FX-6300, or better
GPU
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 750 Ti or AMD™ Radeon™ R7 260X or better
Memory
4 GB RAM
My system is as follows:
Processor: Intel Core i7-2600K (sandy bridge) 3.4GHz Quad Core
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 580 Twin Frozr II/OC 1538MB 3840Bit GDDR5 PCI-E
Memory: 2x4GB 240-Pin DDR3 1600 (PS3 12800) SDRAM
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z680V Pro/Gen3 LGA1155
PSU: Antec High Current Gamer Series HCG-900 900W
HDD: Crucial M4 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal SSD + a 2TB HDD for storage
How do these parts hold up today? I figure the PSU is pretty decent still? Anyway, I know the GPU definitely needs to be upgraded. I don't have a set budget but I'd like to get the best bang for my buck at the moment. Ideally I'd like to play on Ultra settings as smoothly as I can, but without doing a complete overhaul.
Appreciate your expertise!!
