This all totals to 840, but since I don't HAVE to have it right now, I would figure maybe some of these prices would come down within that time frame. (Also another reason I'm posting here, as you guys might would know a better price on something equivalent)
I know WoW isn't the most graphic intensive, but then again, I and my friends are not all that enthused about Panda's either. I'm not going to judge to hard yet, but the trailer right now is focused on Kung-Fu panda, and not anything epic like trailers of the past. (BC, Wrath, Cata) If it flops, we'll most likely go to a first person shooter, which I can only assume will need a nice system.
To put it into perspective, I have been playing WoW on all lowest graphics settings, and I completely lag up if in a 25 man raid or a 40 man AV and the fighting is intense. My Nvidia 9600GT doesn't perform well anymore (never really did, but acceptable when I put it on all low graphics) I was happy for 5 years of gaming off of it though for sure, even if it wasn't stellar.
