I was looking to upgrade the graphics card in my computer without having to upgrade the CPU.This is the computer I have.http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+...rive/2634111.p?id=1218341067971&skuId=2634111.


I just use it to play WOW. It plays WOW at like 50-60FPS on the lowest graphics settings. I want to get a graphics card that can play it on fair or good graphics settings at 40-60FPS (or if I could even get it to play Ultra graphics that would be better), without upgrading the CPU if its possible. Any suggestions on a graphics card?

How much can you spend on it?

You need to upgrade your power supply with whatever card you get, though. That is a must.
 
I'll be honest, you will definitely need a new power supply. The rest of your system is fine. You don't need a lot of processing power cause it's not that demanding.

Though you'll want a decent card. I know I had an HD 5750 that maxed out wow with an old wolfdale cpu and yours is better. But you will definitely need a better power supply.

So instead of upgrading my graphics card just upgrade my CPU? Because I can put it on Ultra graphics, its just that it play at like 10FPS lol.
 
That's not what I'm saying at all. Your processor is plenty to run WoW on max. You need a video card to match though. But, the only way to get a new video card to work on that system is if you upgrade the power supply.

Do you have a CPU and graphics card recommendation for me that won't break the bank?
 
Before buying anything, make sure you can take out the PSU, and make sure it is a normal PSU. Pretty much every pre-built I have worked on, you couldn't swap PSU's for anything but a new one from the manufacturer.
 
WoW is mainly CPU intensive. However using DX11 in WoW gives you a boost in FPS and a tiny bit of eye candy. So definitely get a DirectX11 graphics card.
