I built this computer incrementally. It started as a work computer and then I added the HD 7950 about a year ago. I started playing League of Legends around that time. However, I get serious FPS drops during intense moments of the game. I was wondering what CPU I should upgrade to for better performance. Also, is there anything else I should consider upgrading?
Finally, is it worth it to just overhaul the whole build and get a new CPU/GPU/MOBO/PSU/anything else, or is an incremental improvement the way to go?
Any thoughts would be helpful.
