So I bought a bunch of parts about a year ago, and built my first pc: (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MZyZhM)
I put it together and everything seemed to be running good. About 4 months into it the performance died, and I couldn't figure out why.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I just recently got time to come back and start to mess with things, and have time to play again, but I can't even play WoW on low graphics in 10-25 man raids.
Any suggestions? I assumed the graphics card? But I'm plugged into the graphics card with an HDMI, wouldn't that not work if that was the case?

I would think that if the vid card was the problem, it would be a lot more obvious.
What are your temperatures like?
Do you clean the dust out of it?

Might just be time to re-install Windows.

Will do a full fresh install of Windows then, anything else you think would be a good idea?

Once you get a fresh, clean, excellent driver and Windows Updates install done....make a good backup, so you don't have to do this again.

Go into your BIOS & Enable XMP mode for your ram. Its 3000mhz ram, but you're running it at 2100mhz

Everytime I've enabled it my computer restarts and won't let me use that.
