im new to the gaming world at least in computers I am, well I only plan to play WoW since thats really the only computer game I really ever play. Im not really picky on the high performance super high graphics, but from what i seen as long as is arond 15+ fps i can play at that. I just dont want to have to play on completely low settings either. as long as is in the medium range im ok with that. heres the link thanks in advance. :)

It wouldn't be able to handle 15+fps even on low settings because it has awful integrated graphics.

You wouldn't be able to upgrade the graphics either without first upgrading your power supply. You are always better off building your own computer because you get better quality control, upgradability, you will get more performance for your money and you can choose where to put the money in the system
 
It'll get better than 15. That's how much I got when I ran it on a P4 on a radeon 9200 family edition card. and 1gb of ram.

EDIT: I admit though, that definitely wasn't in any city.

The graphics are improved with each expansion. Previously at wotlk, the very minimum specs was a Nvidia 6150se, which will not handle Cata at all
 
Well, how far into the game he was wasn't specified.

That desktop and this combo would have you well underway into playable circumstances.

But like he said a build from scratch would be cheaper and better

I run WoW on one of my setups with an integrated 4200 on my Asus board with well above 15 FPS. Even in the cities. On Medium. With Cataclysm. Those integrated 4200 are actually pretty powerful; it can run 1080i, 720p, w/e. Sooo, paired with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3.0 GHz, with 2 GB's of RAM.

In conclusion, the OP's computer willl handle it. Probably for at least a few more years.

ok so im seeing some people say yes and some no, well im getting the computer for free so i do plan to just upgrade some of the things that are needed and i see that it will be a graphic card and a power supply.
 
Aastii, that integrated graphics will run World of Warcraft, Burning Crusade, and Wrath of the Lich King, it wont cut in in Cataclysm, even on the lowest settings, I watched my nephew try because at first I didint believe it myself. Even just questing he we lag.

Its nice to see the graphics getting better for once, but for people just gettin by with the integrated graphics it does kind of suck. I went and bout my nephew
