okay so i know there is alot of posts and websites i could look thru but when i can ask and get peoples idea's then why not ask here for people who game and use the products not just test them.. so my question is what should be my first upgrade for my pc.. ram? Cpu? Gfx Card? i would like to not put 900$ on a cc if i could pay cash and do one at a time.. with 300$ cash i also know wow and other games are cpu dependent... what do i have currently you may ask..( not a massively great system but does the job i need)..
