Building computer for WOW

[Gambit87]

Building my first gaming computer. I want to run World of Warcraft at high to ultra setting with FPS at least 50 to 60, especially in 40 man PVPs. I want to spend around 650 to 700. I have been looking at Newegg but I am not too sure which parts are compatible. Could anyone help me with a nice build?

Since WoW is not too graphically intensive, I would focus on a strong CPU and mid-range GPU.

A bit over budget. You could get a dual-core i5 as they are still fairly powerful and enough for WoW.

could go with a phenom II cpu/mobo combo to lower the price. They are plenty powerful enough for wow
