Looking for advice on how to increase my computer's speed

[Diabolical]

Hey guys I'm not old to the botting scene but I'm very new to the hardware section for computers. Currently my computer is running 3 Diablo 3 and 3 WoW instances and it lags so much that I cannot do anything else like watch a movie or play some other game. So I decided to upgrade my computer a little bit so that I will not need to compromise my cash flow, and still play stuff that I like at the same time.

Here are my computer specs

Right now I'm looking at 2 x 8GB RAM sticks to support my computer because its forever taking up like 7.9~GB out of my 8GB memory when I run everything.
Advice please? Cheers in advance.

Also I realised mine is a 2500 and not a 2500k, how do I overclock this properly?

 

[moodz83]

get a SSD for operating system and D3. improved my system speed by alot. will go well with the increase in ram. I recently made both them changes and well worth the couple hundred dollars.

A SSD will really give your PC a kick.

Don't believe the morons who think SSDs are just a "hype".

 

[Coupons]

SSDs are nice but they do degenerate over time (like 5 years of continuous botting) however they also speed up load times and use less electricity, which will make the SSD pay for itself by the time it dies.

in 5 years there will be something even better out, and even if there isnt they are so cheap now it can easily be replaced.

Not sure how many people would really have the same hard drive even after 2 years.

 

[Diabolical]

Firstly thanks for all the responses, it has been of great help. Comparing a SSD to a 16gb RAM upgrade, which one do you think has a better effect and the better bang for buck?

My stress level does go up with each read/write cycle consumed but it beats using a cheap flash SSD thumbdrive to contain the windows fetch cache.

 

[moodz83]

just bot more and get both lol, id prob go SSd, 8GB should be enough for the time being. just look into way to minimise memory usage, google it. there are heaps of processes that windows uses that wastes alot of RAM

 

[Diabolical]

Alright thanks for the input guys! Really really appreciated, just got my 3rd account banned sadly. Will upgrade my parts soon when I gain back the cash.
