I just started playin WoW (World of Warcraft) and because of all the lag I decided it may be a good time to get a new computer, and decided to build my own computer, I've been lookin at items for awhile, but id like some suggestions on items, im not lookin to spend more than $500, maybe MAYBE $600, I dont need a keyboard, mouse, etc, just computer, so please help me out, again this will be a gaming computer, thanks in advance

what about a monitor?

steelcube12 · 11-24-2006, 12:58 AM

already have one, also, id probably buy a video card outside the $500-$600 and would it be possible to switch the DVD and CD Drive, and also the harddrive from my current computer to the new one?
