Hows this computer?

It looks okay... the biggest issues would be the power supply and the graphics. 300W isn't much and if you ever wanted to upgrade to a decent graphics card you'd have to get a new power supply and possibly a new motherboard. It should play WoW just fine, but you'd be better off building your own dual core computer with a nice GPU and PSU.

EDIT: Sorry, I hadn't realized that you already had a GPU... it'll be tough, but it SHOULD work... I can't make any guarantees as the minimum PSU requirement for the 8500GT is 300W. It'll be a squeeze though... generally prebuilt computer companies put in the cheapest PSU they can find that will power the parts.

It looks like a good deal, the power supply is on the low side, but should power the GPU you are looking at sufficiently. Id say go for it, but if you are wanting a more powerful card than a 8500GT, a new power supply is required.

That been said, this is probably more than sufficient enough for what you want to do, and $50 cheaper, with more HDD space.

thanks for the advice. now i have a question regaurding gpus. that computer you linked said it had a epxnasion slot of pci express 2.0 x16, but the one i have is only a pci expressx16, would it still fit? thanks
 
I don't know why they can't list the RAM speed.

Anyway, looks like an ok deal on both of them.
PSU would be my only concern, but you can get
a decent 500watt psu for $40.00.
