Hey all, hows it going.
So I am in need of some assistance, my uncle gave me his old windows PC, I threw a new hard drive in there with windows 8, from vista. I play wow alot, as well as games like skyrim etc.
I mean the computer runs them, but on low graphics and even lags occasionally opening non-heavy CPU programs like skype or spotify. Or the game wow lags when im around a decent amount of people,or have higher graphics enabled, or both etc.
I know to fix the graphics called problem should probably update it, but im not sure to what.
As for the speed/lag, is that due to my processor?
I will post the specs below:
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 560
So I know buying some RAM would help, any other better graphics cards and processors you can recommend? As well as whatever I can use to improve the speed and smoothness of gaming/performance in general on this computer? Thanks
