GPU for a decent wow

This is the card i am looking at for upgrading my desktop to run wow. Currently it wont run it all, but im getting a new mobo and cpu as well (the ones i have now were literally just thrown together for just a net surfing comp).

Mobo:

CPU:

My question is, will this card be able to run WoW at, say mid-ranged res. at 40+FPS? If not, what other card should I look at within the price range of anything below 70$?

Thanks in advance.

I recently assembled a PC from spare parts leftover from upgrades. The only thing I was missing was the video card:

Athlon X2 5200+
Win XP
2 GB DDR2 800
22 inch monitor @ 1680x1050

I bought this HD 4670 for it:

With WoW I had everything maxed save from view distance at about 75% and shadow quality off. I was getting a solid 60 FPS in the old world, 35-50 FPS in the more graphically intensive zones of Outland and Northrend (Zangamarsh, Howling Fjord, etc...). Dalaran was about 25-40 FPS at prime time. All in all I was quite pleased with how well it ran with an three year old AMD dual core and the HD 4670. The card was also pretty quiet with the fan on auto.

If you can wait on a rebate this would be a good bit stronger:

That Open box product. Does that mean the gpu comes "bare", if thats even possible, or does it just mean it was a return, but still working?

If you're going to consider open-box to stay under $70:

Faster (by a small bit) than a 9600 GT, cooler and uses less power.
