You may be tempted to go for a more powerful gpu since your stated budget will allow such, but honestly, the cpu would bottleneck the gpu to the point of you wasting money.
For better gaming, especially in WoW, stay away from the 64player servers when they are packed. Your cpu can't handle that amount. Even 16players will slow you somewhat,but at least you'll be able to enjoy the game a whole lot more.
