Right, so my computer has been running The Sims 3 since it came out. Obviously it has become slower with each SP and EP. I'm torn as to whether I should buy a new computer or upgrade my current one. I have absolutely no idea about computer specs, which is why I'm here, both hoping and believing there is at least someone with a whole lot more knowledge on the subject than myself. I know the graphics are pretty good on both Sims 3 and WoW, which are basically the only two games I play using this computer, but I also believe I could use more RAM. That's as far as my knowledge goes though and I would rather ask somebody who knows before making a large purchase of a new computer, or perhaps upgrade my current one instead. So, I'm leaving my specs here (did a dxdiag) in hopes that somebody can help me out.
