    WoW doesn’t need a great PC to play. That video card is definitely on the low end – you can buy it for about $20.

    That computer will be plenty fast for WoW.

    If you don’t mind mail order (NewEgg is great) and mail-in rebate, this is a better computer for $10 cheaper (and less shipping): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227238. Core i3 is a great budget CPU, GT 220 is better than 210, and 700W vs. 480W power supply, which will come in handy if you ever decide up upgrade the video card. I also like the little handle on the top of the case… :-)

    it will play WoW but that’s about it. a geforce 210 will be a huge bottleneck in most of today’s games. it’s on par with a 6800gt or so which is a six year old card.

    if you are going to be using a gaming pc for 2-3 years or more you should at least get a gts 250, 5750, 5770, 4870, or better.

    honestly i wouldn’t pay more than $400 for that system, even new.
