What shall I upgrade ?

[dayloon]

Hi All,

It's rare that i have spare cash so now that i do, i'd like to do 1 or 2 upgrades on my PC. Nothing major. But i can't decide which component to upgrade. I play games but mainly MMO's like wow, GW2 (when it's released), diablo 3 (technically not an MMO but anyway...). This is my current setup :

Intel i5 3.3 Ghz CPU (not currently overclocked but will OC to about 3.8)
Asus P67 Sabertooth m'board
8GB RAM
Crucial M4 120GB SSD + 2x1TB HDD's
Nvidia 580 with 1GB RAM (can't remember make)
Dell U2410 Monitor

For the sames you mentioned, I would say just grab a good CPU cooler and overclock your i5 (2500K?) to 4.5-4.8GHz. Your GTX580 should still be plenty for those games.

Faster CPU would make bigger different than graphic upgrade (if you already got a decent graphic card) on online/mmo games.
