I'm hoping the friendly people here will be able to solve my current situation!
I bought my current PC from Overclockers a few years ago and it has been the best purchase I have ever made. It has never crashed once and has been the best £800 I have ever spent.
It is a i5 750@ 4ghz (I think it was called the Titan Exodus at the time) with 4gb of memory and a GTX 670.
My computer is used for playing a small number of games, mostly World of Warcraft (95% of its use), but also Path of exile and Hearthstone. Not the most demanding selection of software, and I'm well aware that I have no use for an i7 with GTX Titan.
I think my current problem is the low amount of memory my system has. WoW uses up about 1.5gb and If I have Chrome open with 10-15 tabs (which is common for me) then It can start to run dry. I also use Adobe Premiere a lot, which is a memory demon, and so is Path of Exile.
Are my issues purely memory based?
Do I sacrifice the custom overclock and simply upgrade my memory?
Or is it time for a full upgrade?
Going from my overclocked i5 to a current generation i5, do I have much to gain?
I have no problem spending a grand on a full upgrade (3 years is a good lifecycle) but would £60 on new memory serve me just as well?

Any advice would be very much appreciated.
