Hello, let me just say first, that I really appreciate the kind of help I see all you guys and girls giving people all over these awesome forums.
Now to the point...
I want to build a computer that can easily take on the one the game I play, which is World of Warcraft. I understand that Wow is a pretty Cpu intensive game vs videocard intensive, but at the same time is a pretty mild challenge for even mid to low end gaming setups.
So, I'm while I'm semi-pro at forum hopping and figuring out computer tech problems, I just don't have all the sorts of insight I have seen being posted on this site in my recent researching.
I would very much appreciate some help in forming a very budget build of under $600 (I still have to buy a monitor) that can easily pump out WoW.
Approximate Purchase Date: next 2 weeks
Budget Range: less than $700 INCLUDING MONITOR
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Research and dicking around
Parts Not Required: Nothing, I'll be buying the Whole Shebang
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: NEWEGG OR TIGERDIRECT, I just want to use one site for the whole deal, no real preference
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: I'm partial to Amd and Ati for their prices
Overclocking: I don't think so
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: Still need to purchase monitor, so recommend!
Additional Comments: I'm a cheap bastard, and this is to play the lowest end games! I just want this thing to pump out Wow nicely.
