300-400$ diablo3/ wow:warlords of draenor some fps.

[Aproblem]

Hey! i hate for my first post to be leeching information. But im looking for a new computer. I already have a ps4 for my bf4/cod fix looking to play some mmo's at high settings. i know wow does not req a lot of computer to play. But it can use a good amount of cpu resources. D3+the xpacs. Not to worried about being able to handle the fps's i play on Pc. tf2,mico-volts. Thanks for anything u guys come up with . Im a Intel cpu kinda guy. but im willing to look at some amd's.


Approximate Purchase Date: Within a month

Budget Range: ( 300-400$) After Rebates.. After Shipping

System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming.

Are you buying a monitor: I have monitor, keyboard.. mouse. OS. and i am ok with a smaller size hard drive (500gb)

looking to max cpu/gpu... 6-8gb ram. and of course for 300-400$

Thanks again for ur help.

For MMO games you'd want to go intel since the majority of those games use 2 cores, and Intel CPU's have a strong single core performance.

Thanks! u nailed it with the first one. i have read some about the newer i3's and it seems they rip mmo's. Im thinking about saving a little extra money for a ssd as-well think i have a few gb of matching ram kickin around here too. Should handle the games i need it for and then some. thanks again man.

The i3 build should play the games you listed at high settings. Rather than adding an SSD to reduce load times, I'd upgrade the i3 to an i5 for it to be more " future proof" and upgrade the graphics card to a R9 270. An SSD has no impact on the actual fps you get in game.

wonder if i could bother a Mod to make this a question and make this the best answer cause for 300-400ish dollars that build is tops for MMo's/wow.

It's fine, this was a discussion anyways. I already have more than enough best answers
