Need help choosing some hardware

[benagade1989]

Hi peeps,

So it's Christmas and I've decided to treat myself to a new graphics card.

Basically I have anywhere between £200 and £250 to spend...

Literally all I want is to be able to play World Of Warcraft of highest settings, and maybe the odd CS:Go and general gaming, nothing too intensive.

I hope these details help! My preference is Nvida:

Main Circuit Board

Board: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. P8H61 R2.0 Rev X.0x
Serial Number: 120801621103259
Bus Clock: 103 megahertz
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 0508 08/10/2012

Display

AMD Radeon HD 6450

Thanks,

Would you recommend I look into spending some money on an i7 first? then maybe a gfx card later on?

Cheers

Guys,

Thanks for all your help so far.

Apologies for my ignorance, but is there a reason why I wouldn't want to invest in an i7?

I understand that an i5, from what you say, will run WoW fine but would I benefit from spending a little more cash on an i7?

Thanks again.

Ben.
