Whats up all, im new and looking for some input on what to do with my current PC.
At work right now so I dont have specifics will get everything later
Current processor:
believe its a AMD64 2.2ghz?
was a ghetto prebuilt back in about 2006, yeah it still runs. like crap but still runs
can run WoW on low/moderate settings at about 10fps on average
Looking at upgrading or building new for only Gaming WoW/D3(if they ever decide to release it)
multitasking with vent/skype, also occasional media player or youtube, and possibly fraps
Was looking at the i5 2500k cpu as the main priority.
Is there anyway to upgrade a dino AMD cheaper than just building a new budget i5 2500k with the same or better performance/reliability?
Only want to spend around $500
Any help appreciated, thanks
EDIT:
from what ive been able to find, it looks like the I5 2500k outperforms everything in its price range?
