Problem Disk free space is only 1% on drive C:.


I think this computer is crappy because it doesnt have enough hard disk space since World of Warcraft takes up 8 GBs. speaking of which, world of warcraft works OK if I exit out of all programs but it lags too much and well yah. im in need of some upgrading. Im willing to spend about 350 on a new beast. Im thinking of using some old parts from this one and some new parts and building a whole new computer. Does anyone know wat parts I should get to get my bang for the buck? thanks. o and when I get watever new computer I get, should I make it a vista?
 
yah no kidding anyone got any idea wat parts I should buy and wat old parts I should use? I mean its called computer tech forums for a reason? can anyone help please?
