Jenova69 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 What Resolution do you play at for starters and i think the best deals can often be found right here. Just go to the OCC Marketplace and do a little research on certain parts that catch your eye. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
owcraftsman Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Considering your requirements and budget I'm hard pressed to come up with a bad butt gaming rig but with a little tweaking this would be in no way a slouch. On the contrary it could handle all you can throw at it but beware long WOW your machine will be getting pretty hot even at stock speed so you may want to consider a good case and upgrade your CPU cooler from the factory HS that comes with the CPU Combo deal ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail Item #: N82E16813131299 Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80570E8400 - Retail Item #: N82E16819115037 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDet...st=Combo.190236 EVGA 896-P3-1170-AR GeForce GTX 275 896MB 448-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail Item #: N82E16814130475 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130475 G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK - Retail Item #: N82E16820231166 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820231166 Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive - OEM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822136284 CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power ... - Retail Item #: N82E16817139006 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817139006 Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit for System Builders - OEM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16832116488 You'd be hard pressed to find better components at there price points IMHO $823 with shipping and tax after rebates at the Egg. If you plan to go with a dual GPU setup at some point you may want to consider an ATI card because SLI is not supported on that motherboard consequently Nvidia would be a bad choice. In that case try this: XFX HD-487A-ZDFC Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail Item #: N82E16814150352 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814150352 XFX warranties are outstanding. $15 less the total cost after rebates also. Keep us posted and we can walk you through the building process etc. Good Luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjloki Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Why I have a hard time responding to your post ...too lazy to look up the exchange rates and see what is available to you. Given what you said above, the computer build posted above that should be more than enough for WoW. With pricing range though you should be able to build i7 though ...unless pc parts are radically overpriced where you live. If that is the case, then the Phenom II 940 (for OCing) or 955 (no OC) are other valid contenders. find a guy on this forum named hrdnrg he lives over in uk and is extremely knowledgeable and experenced...yo hardnrg yer comrad needs you...!!
