Hey guys. I'm relatively new to the forums and practically a newbie when it comes to computers so I'm hoping anyone out there could possibly help with some advice/suggestions.

Games I play -
World of Warcraft:Cataclysm, Heroes of Newerth, Starcraft 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops, DC Universe Online, The Sims3
I know these are some games that require a pretty decent computer but I play most of these settings on the lowest possible as I sacrifice quality for performance but as I progress in some of these games, I experience some lag.

Budget -
Price Area I want to stay in $100-$500 but max price: $750
Willing to buy online or in stores, whichever would be best

Monitor -
It's an LG 23inch Flatron Monitor

Graphic interface -
PCI-E x 16

Video Card Maker/Model -
Galaxy Geforce GT 240 1GB 128bit DDR3

If you think that I am just in need of new motherboard, suggest that as well with other suggestions. It's an old computer and I'm glad it's still alive but its need of upgrades so I open to anything!!! If I miss any information that you need, please message me or post in this thread as I will do my best to reply and quickly fix. Lastly, I thank everyone who offers to help and for reading my thread. Thanks, again.
