I’m buying a new computer after 2 year (my last one wasn’t that great even at purchase). The primary use of this computer will be to play games like World of Warcraft, Call of Duty 4, and Crysis.
I found a computer on newegg.com that looks good but I want to ask you guys first to make sure I’m getting a good deal/good enough computer for current games and games coming out.
Here are the specs…

Will those specs enable me to run WoW at high settings and be able to record with FRAPS at the same time? Or is that asking to much out of the system?
Also any recommendations on websites where I can find cheaper/better computers are encouraged!
Thank you in advance for the help!
Oh I completely forgot to add the price, lol. The price is $999.99

its ok, but dont expect to play crysis on high graphics with that card. or wow for that matter. need a newer video card than that. for games video card is what matters most. that and ram. no game at all asks for quad core so spend more money on video card dude.
if u have money get that computer with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150327
and anyone who says you can run it in high settings with 9500 is wrong.
