what your funding and are you going to build it yourself or want it pre built.
if it pre built look for the i5 4690/4670 cpu and 8g of ram. 128g ssd os drive and a 1 or 2tb hard drive.
the 970 right now is one of the better gpu for price/performance also look at the 280/290 line of gpu from amd.
look for a good 750w power supply for his gaming pc.

dont be afraid the worst thing that can happen is you break a single part you cannot break every single part all at once xd

The most important question is that of your budget.

Good is relative, mainly to what games you want to play. I'm not a WoW expert, but a $600-$800 PC should do the trick.

Something like this should work.

To my knowledge this build should run WoW quite well. It can run Battlefield 4, a generally more intensive game, on Ultra settings and 60 FPS.

Looking at prebuilt equivalents to the above $600 build, I can't find anything on amazon and newegg for under $900. I could find something for 600-800 but it wouldn't perform nearly as well. Are your sure building isn't an option?

May i see the over 900 prebuilt?
I can go over 900 if i like what i see. If its too much i have to consider...building one. :-/

Actually, something like this looks good for $780.

It'll perform even better than the $600 build I suggested. Of course you pay for it, but I'm sure your boyfriend will be pleased and you won't have to build it.

You can get a used business class system off craigslist for maybe $250-300 with a Core i5 or i3 CPU (Lenovo ThinkCenter or ThinkStation tower, HP WX workstations) then buy a video card like a Radeon R250X for about $100. The better business systems come with a 350 watt power supply often and are better quality than the home systems or the semi-gaming systems you see for sale with cheap power supplies and bad video cards.

If budget is no problem, then you should buy Avatar Gaming I5-4576.

If he was planning to build a Pc then its better not to buy him one. Its better to build it the way he wants it and with the parts of his like than paying 800$ and then need a new one. Gamer's World is wierd xD
