Hi Folks
I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to upgrading/specifying PC components so id appreciate some honest advice.
I'm currently playing WoW and experiencing frame rate spiking in high populated areas but mainly when there is lots happening on screen. I would like my ideal setup to be able to run MMO's on maxed settings at 60+ fps in most situations which my current setup does fall a little short of.
I don't want to shell out cash for a full new setup and from what I've gathered MMO's are CPU intense (Could be wrong) so ill start upgrading from here.
Here is my current setup:
8Pack Approved - Intel Core i5 6400 @ 4.4GHz Overclocked Quad Core Gaming Bundle
- Asus Z170-E ATX Motherboard
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 8GB DDR4 2666MHz
- Provide Liquid Cooler in the bundle above (Dont have the spec handy)
- XFX Radeon Fury Triple Fan 4096MB HBM PCI-Express Graphics Card (R9-FURY-4TF9)
- Samsung SSD 850-Evo 500GB
- Corsair CX750M ATX Power Supply
- Corsair CC-9011052-WW Carbide Series SPEC-03 Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Case
- AOC G2460PG 24" 1920x1080 TN G-Sync 144Hz 1ms Gaming Widescreen LED Monitor
- Windows 10 - 64 bit
Here is what I was thinking about adding:
- Asus-ROG Maximus X Hero ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
- Intel - Core i7-8700k 3.7GHz 6-Core processor (Ideally overclock)
- Corsair H60 Liquid CPU Cooler
Please let me know what you think whether its good, bad or ugly. I appreciate all help.
Many Thanks
