run WoW decently?

It might I'm not sure I have never played WOW. It's not a gaming computer by any means. It is just a basic internet setup nothing powerful about it.

 

[Danda]

On mid to low detail maybe. Whats your budget mate?

 

[Peterocks123]

I would like to keep it under 400 but i can over a little if i need to.

Can you build your own for $400 you can build a decent gaming computer that will blow that dell away.

 

[Peterocks123]

I was thinking about building my own. A while ago i posted my build and it added up to like 350 but i guess it was terrible. Also how hard is it to build one?

It's not hard at all just takes common sense is all. The parts will only go in one way so you can plug something in wrong. There is a ton of videos on youtube explaining how to do it. Usually for somebody's first build it will take 4+ hours to finish. Your going to most likely have some kind of complication your first time. In the end it will all be worth it because you will have a nice computer. Plus the satisfaction knowing that you built it.

Yeah i think ill end up building it then. Would you mind taking a look at my build and telling me what to change and what PSU to get? And Case could only find expensive ones.
