So well its almost xmas and I have to come up with a good computer to run wow, parents wont but a brand one cause theyre usually way too expensive where I live (latin america) Anyhow I need it mainly for World of Warcraft Cataclysm, this computer will be use mainly for that, firefox on the side, web browsing nothing too fancy. Tho Id like to at least be able to play at mid setting with 50+ FPS. How to achiev this I have no idea, I see all the adds like what video card is the best and what processor is the best, but then they tell me motherboards and power soucers and im lost, but I know they all have to be compatible with each other, in other words I have nothing, I need halp plz
