I would like to know if anyone can recommend a GOOD gaming desktop setup for playing WoW. I have a Dell XPS 410 and it is a PIECE of CRAP! I am always having the game freeze up on me and then the video going nuts. I replaced the video card but it still is driving me nuts. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

what video card was in the system, what was the upgrade? The XPS 410 should be able to handle WoW with ease. What is your current set up?

From your description, my guess is that the video card or CPU is overheating. Try watching CPU and GPU temps with a utility in Windows and see what the "normal" idle temps are and what the temps rise up to during gaming.

Download coretemp and check your cpu/gpu temps while gaming.
