Hey all, Im trying to build a new rig because my old computer gave out. Im mainly interested in playing the new expansion for WoW on this new device at medium or high (recommended if possible) settings. Right now I have a graphics card:
PowerColor Radeon HD 7750 Video Card - 1GB DDR3, PCI-Express 3.0 (x16), 1x Dual-Link DVI-I, 1x D-Sub (VGA), 1x HDMI, DirectX 11.1, CrossFire, Single-Slot, Fan

I was hoping I could still use this but I was looking for any suggestions on the build i could make. My budget is $500.
Thanks all!

Also, is there a site that can assemble this for me? Or would it be relatively easy to d by myself? Im not that big of a techie but I understand where most of the basic parts go and feel like I could look up some of the harder things.
Thanks for the help too!
