Dear overclockers community.
I bought my pc here a long time ago and it's time for a slight upgrade.
I'm primarly going to use it to play the new World of Warcraft expansion, and while it hasn't got the highest requirements, I'd like it to play smoothly and look beautiful.
My budget is rather small, 300-350 pounds.
Here's what I have.
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T, 2.80Ghz
4GB RAM
Win 7, 64bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti
some generic PnP Monitor
SATA 500GB Drive
Antec Three Hundred case
Corsair GS600 power supply
Corsair H60 liquid cooling (am I meant to maintain it somehow? I never touched it).
Now, what I'd like in the first place.
MONITOR. I'll be fine with 22'. I would love to have two, but not sure how I could fit that within a budget. The one I have atm is to be sold/given away as it looks like it's 2001. Maybe I could get one decent and one very cheap?
SSD. Everyone tells me if I'll get a 120GB one, install a game and OS on it, and nothing else, it will work like a charm. I want that. Any particular recommendations or something I should know? Oh, WoW folder will be around 35GB. (From what I understand I can have SSD and my SATA both at once, right? I'll just need to format 500GB which I'm fine with).
This would probably cost me around 150 already. More, if I'd be getting 2 monitors. Which component should I upgrade next, and within a budget?
Please help choose, I'm basically ready to make an order, but require some well minded advice.
