Yes, another one of those threads!

Looking for an affordable gaming PC mainly for WoW

Currently running a Q6600 with Radeon HD 5700, and it's painfully slow these days (6 FPS in busy areas)

Worth upgrading or should I just buy a new setup?

Budget about £300

Won't need monitor, keys or mouse

Cheers :)

Would my HEC-550TD-PTE mean I could get away with just buying a new mobo, CPU and GPU?

No idea if HEC are any good or if 550w is enough to game on these days
 
Thanks for the reply

Bottleneck with 750ti and Q6600?

Any idea on a good budget Mobo & CPU that would go well with a GTX 750ti?

A bit of reading suggests an overclock to say 3.4ghz on the CPU would make there a lot less of a bottleneck.

I do suggest you just get the gpu for now. If it doesn't offer enough if an increase for you you can then decide to get a mobo and CPU. Could also allow you to scrimp a few more pounds together

I'll get my hands on a 750ti and see how it goes

Thanks
 
Great replies, cheers

I already ordered a 750ti
I'll set that up and see how it goes

Wouldn't the 960, PSU and fans be overkill for my Q6600, and leave me with 0 budget left?

Will the CPU probably hold me back -- so a new mobo and CPU should be next, right?
