I want to buy this computer here for world of warcraft:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dell+Inspiron+I660S-1540BK+Desktop+%26+20%22+LED+Monitor+Package/9999206800050020.p?id=pcmprd205700050020&skuId=9999206800050020

But it doesn't say what graphics card it comes with only says "Intel® HD graphics" have searched all over and cannot find what card it comes with. I'm not super familiar with graphics cards but I know from wikipedia that there is more then 1 card in that series. I just wanna know which one exactly so I can see if its one of the ones listed as being supported on the world of warcraft website.

You can't always believe in what wikipedia says. People on their just throw out their basic knowledge but isn't always completely accurate. Here is a link to the system requirements of WoW. https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/minimum-system-requirements-for-world-of-warcraft

Intel HD graphics are the standard on-board graphics that the cpu comes with. I am not entirely sure if these are the newer Intel Graphics but i am assuming it is in the lower range category. Somewhere on the line it is probably intel HD Graphics 3000 or 2000. The newer haswell cpu's and more recent cpus have intel HD graphics 4000. These Graphics can support WoW completely fine. For all i know it might be able to play it on the lowest settings but i...

For all i know it might be able to play it on the lowest settings but i can't be to quite sure on that one. If you were to get this pc I would recommend getting a low end physical GPU. It will easily meet the requirements for this game. Other than that the other requirements suit this game perfectly fine from the computer you want to buy. Also you can play other games with the physical gpu. Intel's graphics are more for the non gamer but you might be able to pull it of!

Overall i say you should get this pc and if the games you want to play don't work, you can easily get a physical gpu and it will help you out tremendously in the future. Any other questions please ask! Hope I could help

These cards are probably your best match!
Nvidia GeForce GT 620
AMD Radeon HD 7570

Thank you so much. I think I'm gonna go ahead and buy it and update the graphics card if I absolutely have to. I have no idea how to so hopefully it won't come to that, but I've heard its not too hard to figure out. Still wish I knew what exact card it had but I suppose it probably is one of the lower ones or they would be advertising more.

Anytime man! Installing a graphics card is very easy. It will take at the most 5 minutes. Just a few things to connect and you are all done! Also don't use the driver disc it comes with. Go to the manufacturers website and you can download the latest driver for optimal performance. If you need help on anything else just ask!
