You can game with any modern CPU on the integrated graphics, albeit at low settings, and this one is no different. Expect any game to run, but unless it's a low budget indie game or an older title, at greatly reduced settings and probably with slowdowns.

The A10 8700P's CPU portion is slower than a modern Intel laptop CPU for most gaming loads, but will have a slightly faster integrated GPU than Intel integrated graphics. I'd personally rather have something like an i3 or i5 7xxx, if it were priced similarly.
 
I have an A10 7400p Radeon R6, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G APU and it can't play anything much. I haven't tried WOW but it might run WOW.

As posted on Battle.net, the minimum requirement:

OS: Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 10 with latest service pack
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 or AMD Phenom II X3 720
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 440 or AMD Radeon HD 5670 or Intel HD Graphics 5000
RAM: 2 GB
