due to this system using non standard parts like motherboard/power supply you are limited in some upgrades

 

however before you do any upgrading check your internet connection speed/latency a poor connection or a old/misconfigured router or a shared internet (other people using internet same time as you) needs to be addressed first

 

next which server is your game connecting to? and what load is said server under? game servers located many hops away from you or with lots of users online will respond slower causing the game to stutter no matter how fast your computer/internet is

post your speed and ping times and current hardware your system has and based on that you might want to upgrade some parts
