So I've noticed my computer has been fairly slow recently. I'm playing WoW which I wouldn't think would require a crazy computer, but mine seems to be struggling. It could be due to the fact that I'm using 3 monitors on one graphics card.
specs:
AMD FX-8320E processor
8gb ram
64 bit windows 10
amd radeon (TM) R9 270
Anything else I need to list?

Been getting worse over time?
What storage do you have?

Have you tried a clean install of windows and WoW? Otherwise, a SSD might help speed things up a bit.

Yes, it seems to have been getting worse recently. I have an ssd with 100gb and a 1tb normal one. WoW is installed on the non ssd one

You could salvage your 270 if you get a new PC until you upgrade to a new GPU.
WoW is CPU heavy, so a new CPU would help the most.

Sell it and rebuild or tell the processor and mobo for 150 and replace those two.

Open up your task manager and find the processes that are using up your resources. Personally I think active scanning virus checkers are a large and unjustified waste of resources. You may consider turning it off as well as your extra monitors when gaming.

What sort of processor should I be getting?
