Is my current build enough to play WOW and LOL at 1920x1200 or 1920x1080 at high settings with smooth gameplay?

Azullen · Oct 30, 2013

I have a budget of after tax 700. All I want to do is play World of Warcraft and League of Legends with a little web searching and netflix viewing every now and then. I dont need a mouse, keyboard or monitor. I'd appreciate helpful feedback that would help me get as close as possible to my goal (High settings on both games with smooth gameplay)

Here's a MUCH better build for the same price

CPU-AMD FX 6300
RAM-Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600
GPU-GIGABYTE GV-R927XOC-2GD Radeon R9 270X 2GB
Motherboard-GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P AM3+/AM3 AMD 970
HDD-Western Digital WD Blue 1TB
Power Supply-XFX Core Edition PRO650W
Case-NZXT Source 210
OS- Windows 7 HP SP1 (OEM) (64 BIT)

This should be able to run all games including WOW, League of Legends and other games at 1080p. There's no optical Drive (If you have a Old computer, take out the Optical Drive) and you don't need a sound card, sound cards are built into all MOBO's!

Will it allow me to run at high smoothly? And im curious if you know the total of this build?

Here is my current build

Not sure on what GPU or motherboard to go with. Feedback from that would be much appreciated

filippi · Oct 30, 2013

Imho you should get this computer instead. It has faster GPU, better motherboard for overclock, great PSU and case:
