Problem with pre-built systems is they often use junk power supplies, and low quality components. You will find most here will recommend a custom build, either built by you, or someone you know.

Most pre built pc's aren't good. here's a good custom built pc just for WoW and other popular games( dota 2, LoL, Cs:GO, )
CPU: i5-6400.
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-I5-6400-FC-LGA14C-Processor-BX80662I56400/dp/B010T6CG7E/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1470967231&sr=1-5&keywords=i5
I chosed an i5 because this is a really good core for this generation. Plus, if you want upgrades, you dont have to upgrade the CPU. if you want a cheaper one, go for this: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-I3-4160-Processor-Hyper-Threading-BX80646I34160/dp/B00LV8U0VE/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1470910090&sr=1-2&keywords=i3
GPU: GTX 750ti

This bad boy is one of the best mid-range graphic cards out there. It would do really well at WoW and other games(just not next gen games) Trust me, you won't regret buying this
Ram: Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB

8gb ram is more than enough for gaming.
Motherboard:MSI Intel H81 LGA 1150 DDR3

This is a cheap but good motherboard. You're parts will fit fine in this
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper T2

This is a cheap cooler, but a really good one. it does its job really well on cooling your CPU
Power Supply:EVGA 600 B1
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0600-KR/dp/B00EON40CS/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1470910389&sr=1-2&keywords=power+supply
600watts is a lot but good enough. if you want a cheaper one. here:https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-WHITE-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0500-KR/dp/B00H33SFJU/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1470910389&sr=1-1&keywords=power+supply

these people are going way way way overkill if you're only wanting to play WoW
go on ebay and type in "gaming PC" that's how i started off then you always have the option to upgrade to play even more games.
look online for "world of warcraft system requirements" and compare them to whatever build you might be buying

That is not overkill, for WoW. Legion is more demanding, than WoD. Requirements go up every expansion. Legion actually came with 3 more demanding graphics settings, than we had for from WoD. Legion 7 is WoD ultra. An i3 6100, with a GTX 950, is the lowest I would really want to go.

Yea they tweak the graphics engine, each expansion. WoW was one of the first titles, to get DX 11 support, when they added it for Cata, for instance. My laptop that ran Cata, @ ultra 720p, has to run on low, for Legion. Legion zones look really nice. They changed character models, during WoD, too.

They haven't really updated the old zones much. Outland and Northrend look pretty much the same as they did when they were current. Cata zones it starts looking better. Pandaria was a really nice looking zone. Draenor was nice too. Broken isles definitely was an improvement. Spell and attack effects were given new animations, for Legion. Blizzard changed strategy, from past releases, and now you can buy WoW, and get all the expansions, excluding the current one. So the base game, you can buy now, and when you hit 100, then you can buy legion, unless you want to play a demon hunter.
