You can also build a pc for way cheaper that will run wow just fine. You should fill out that form that was posted before so we can tell what exactly you need.

That will let you play wow optimal on pretty much high everything with plenty of spare change

As a long time end game wow player , I can assure you , you dont need a mega pc for it

I bought the above and it was pretty much perfect running at around 80 fps

Ive done upgrades here and there; for the price youve got a solid base

Actually pretty much anything from the titan range will do

me and a good few mates order all our stuff from overclockers . They are quality

I'd go with luyolo's build. The i5 2500k is a better CPU.

And about 350 euro more expensive. The rig above will do exactly what he/she asked for.

Take the GPU out of luyolo's builds and its the same.

It's his budget and it will also allow him to lay any other more demanding game should he feel like it.

The OCUK build has no GPU and a much worse processor for only €200 less.

My eyes are playing major tricks on me. I'll edit the rig accordingly.
