the extra ram will help on wow alot, especially for helping to get good smooth draw distances while flying. but in instances and raids the extra ram won't make a difference. so kinda depends what you do most.

personally I'd go with the nvidia build with 1G ram for graphics

but yea the cpu on there isn't much but then agian wow isn't super cpu intensive, it'll play fine with high setting you just probably won't be running in ultra with either of those
