I used to play WoW, the classic one. I had a PCI video card and I can tell you it was horrible. If you plan on playing Wrath of the Lich King. I recommend you upgrading your motherboard to PCIe at least, it's fairly cheap now anyway, unless you can bare with the lag and spikes. My friends still play, and they still low fps in big towns with a fairly good system. Anyway, here's a decent one.

o dear.... thats a 6200 nvidia its very very old since then there has been the 7,8,9 and 200 series

for wow get an 8600 gt or better will cost around £60 and will run wow smooth at upper detail levels

most pre built computers come with at least a 8400gs which is still better than the 6200

but well done on the thought :p keep learning bout computers n have fun
