3D - 2

Keep it real...is this a good computer for gaming (WOW), movies, songs, and little internet usage?

I'm a huge WOW fan, yes Id admit...and want to know if this is a decent, relatively cheap computer that will do me justice. If you know of ways to make it better or even cheaper with something I might now necessarily need...I would always take the advise!!!! Thank You!

1. yeah, didnt read the whole to protect my eyes, but graphics card, processor and RAM are on a pretty high standard. you should be able to play WOW easily and most of the recent games, just not on the highest resolution. I'd estimate the price of this system to around 700$, right?
2. Sounds like it'll do everything. My computer is a little worse than yours, but plays anything I throw at it with ease, and also stores all my music etc.
3. Yes it will definalty take WOW, it may also take some more demanding games like the sims and stuff. remember WOW requires a fast internet speed though... :)
4. More than enough....
5. WoW is a popular game and it helps a lot to know if your PC will run it without having a degree from Microsoft or what have you. Luckily there is a simple website that so happens to scan your system and report whether or not your PC can run such popular games like Supreme Commander or Rome:Total War or even World of Warcraft. This is the link... http://www.systemrequirementslab.com Copy and paste it on your browser if it doesn't highlight. However it asks to install an ActiveX control which is needed in order to scan your PC. After that choose a game from the list and it gives you an awesome detailed report comparing your system and the system requirements of the game. Plus it has system recommendations for better performance for the game. Try it out and you'll be more knowledgeable of your actual systems resources.
