Video Card?

And I would NOT trust that PSU. 40 bucks for a 680 watt Unknown brand. Bad idea. Might just fry the whole system.
 
No dedicated video card? Gonna want to get one to get any decent fps in wow.

And that PSU is terrible. Look for an antec, corsair, pc power and cooling, silverstone, seasonic, or xfx. 650w is plenty if you're getting a decent video card.
 
what would be a good but descent but cheap card he wanted to keep it under 500 if possible and ill take a look at psu then thanks guys
 
Well, since you need to get a better (And more expensive) PSU, you will be over $500 with your setup now. I would go AMD for this system, if all he plays is WoW.

That is a decent card. I actually had one, but an AGP one. It played games pretty well, but it will be bottlenecking everything else. I would go AMD like I said, and use that saved money on a nice GPU.
 
what about this then guys?

and maybe this too, newer version of the most popular cooler out there, just supports some new sockets and seems to be rated a little faster.

also he needs to contact the manu or ms cuz the windows will be liscenced to the current mobo so with the new on it will not boot.
