Ok, so I play WoW alot, and i have to play on low graphic in game settings so it runs smoothly, if i turn up the settings, it lags or has bad fps, not sure what to call it, but it sucks. Im assuming its my computer( Emachines desktop, model w3507), so ill put up the current specs on it. What are some things I need to upgrade to make it run better when playing online games like WoW on higher video settings, and what are the reqs for those upgrades?
Thanks
