Do i need to upgrade?

[Deminion]

Seeing as i experience slow loading in WOW, I've considered doing upgrades on my rig.

Currently running:
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3
CPU: AMD FX-8120 8-core 3200MHz AM3+ socket
GPU: XFX Radeon HD7870 XT
8 gigs of some random RAM
2TB HDD, almost full

With too much effects going on, i see framerates dropping very low
Loadingscreen takes forever (however, that might be a blizz problem)
Graphics take ages to update, especially after a loadingscreen.

Hit me with essential stuff to upgrade
Am aware of an SSD and more RAM, and prob a new cpu-cooler, as the stock fan sounds like it's having a stroke.

depends on how much you want/are willing to spend.  As a priority I would 100% recommend getting yourself a 250Gb SSD and doing a fresh windows install on it.

I've no idea why WoW would start to behave badly since it's a pretty good game for making use of older hardware. Anything you might have done recently that could have changed how well the PC performs? Windows 10 upgrade, new anti-virus? New malware?

Yep chuck an SSD in it and your be good. My rig is much older than yours and it holds its own.

I have a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB. they are what we put in for customers at work too.

No budget atm.
However, am considering  the SSD, and then putting some decent 16 gigs of ram in it.
and thinking of adding a closed-loop cpu-watercooling, as the fan is not to much use.
Would like to replace my gpu as well, if i can get something, that can handle 3 screens on HDMI or DVI, as i don't have displayport in any screen.

Should probably be noted, that i also do some photo-editing as well.
