I had a question and was wanting some help I have the option of buying 1 of 2 computers from a buddy of mine and was wondering if you guys could help I don't game as much as I used to but would like to come back and game casual looking to see which of these comps will be able to run wow on ultra if any

The first comp is a Alienware area 51 750i

It has 2 500 gb hds
8 gigs of ram
Pentium dual core 3.44ghZ
GeForce 9800 gtx

he sells this for about 250

The second is a Alienware aurora R3

I7 2600 at 3.40ghZ
16 gb ram
Alienware 046mhw mono
2 1535 geforce 450
3 droves
1 sata 932gb western digital
1 sata 932gb Seagate
1 Kingston ssd 224gb
2 optic drives
1 dvdrw
1 blu-ray dvdrw

And this he doesn't know if he'll let it go for 500 or 600 yet

Kinda wanting help to see if these comps are worth it and which of the 2 I'll be able to run wow on ultra or as close to ultra as possible for 25s and bgs.

I agree. First one is a def. no go. 2nd one has possibilities, but with the price he's asking you can damn near build your own that would compete with it. If it's a complete system, then it might be worth it if you need everything. If you only need a case, then no.

For the 2nd build, all it would need would be a new video card, like the nVidia 950. That would max WoW out because WoW greatly favors nVidia. So, figure 750 dollars for a good WoW build, that you could even upgrade further since the 2600 Intel Cpu isn't bad even now.
