Question from a new member

[Witward]

Hi, im new to the site and this is my first post. Im looking for a new computer, possibly to build one and here is what im looking for.I know its an older game but I want to be able to play world of warcraft without a hitch at highest settings availble with very high fps using a resolution of 1650x1050 or mabey even the higher resolution for a 24 inch moniter. I would like to know the cpu i need, the amount of ram i would need and especaily the qraphics card i would need(preferebly without having to add new psu but will if i have too). I would like to be able to play newer games with at least medium settings also. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to PCM.

WoW is not a terribly demanding game, even at high settings. You won't need a bleeding edge system to play it.

The best way for us to help you put together a list is with a budget.

What is your budget for this new build?

What country are you in?

Will you also need the monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers?

What operating system do you want?

What do you want to use from your current build?

[Witward]

Will you also need the monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers? Is that included in that budget?

I would opt for a QUALITY psu that is atleast 450 watts or more.

Thanks alot for the info, you have helped me greatly...Now with the setup you gave me will it work well with other games as well like say warhammer online and red alert 3. Thanks again for all your alls help!

That's a very good video card, and should work well with most games out now. Obviously it's not the best, but should still give you great playability.
