    Do I need a new desktop system?

    I bought a new desktop system in april of 2010...an ibuypower 933i based on a intel i7 930 processor....i thought my sisters computer went out on her so i decided to be nice/ buy a new system and give her this one. I am due to receive this new ibuypower 909k system based on a i7 2700k intel processor next week. Come to find out she fixed her system and really doesnt need a new one. Basically all I do on my system is play wow and youtube and browse the internet....i can afford a new system if its goin to really enhance my experience but thats my question...will this new system really be a lot faster? you can look at the details of the 2 systems by googling : newegg ibuypower 933i and newegg ibuypower 909k respectively.

    is your current one too slow for any of the things you want to do? if not, you don't need a new one.

    +1. You absolutely are wasting your money. If you are to upgrade anything, then the only thing I could think of is maybe a better video card (if it fits into the case). But I don't know what WoW requires in terms of quality. If your sister does not need/want your computer, I would cancel that order and save it on something else - perhaps a larger monitor?
