I am very interested in this computer to use as my gaming computer. The thing is, the only semi-graphics-intensive game I play is World of Warcraft. My current PC is able to run it at a steady 5-10 FPS, so you can see why I would want an upgrade. So my questions are:

1. Will this be able to smoothly run World of Warcraft at a steady 30+ FPS in both indoor and outdoor scenes, and:
2. What kind of detail settings will it be able to do so at? I'm really hoping max detail settings at a 1280x1024+ resolution, and I guess:
3. How would the build quality be on such a system? Is Acer a quality PC-making company? I know many people frown upon buying a pre-built system here, but I don't have the discipline to sit down and build a system of my own. Will the PC be upgradable in the future? What kind of quality is the case? And:
4. I'm worried about the 300W power supply. Is that really enough to power the whole system? Could I run into any problems?

Thanks in advance!
 
Yes... but it's a horrible computer...

Do a custom computer. Much better, customize it to your very needs, and save $$.
 
It will run WoW at decent settings, but! As Oscar said, it is a horrible deal. You're better off building it yourself!
 
Building a computer of nearly identical specs from scratch would cost at least $50 more, plus require the time and energy put forth to build it.
 
Don't be like that man, it's easy, and just ask! We'll link the parts.

$50? No, that's wrong ;). Probably because there are so many parts out there.

Just because you like that system doesn't mean that you need to get 100% identical parts...

That system isn't necessarily bad, but overall, I wouldn't get it. The E6300 makes you think "Fast". The 320GB lures you in more.
 
That does look like a really nice system, especially with the significantly upgraded video card and the 2MB of RAM, but I'm worried about the less-than-exemplary processor. Wouldn't that significantly lower the performance of the system?
 
The processor is decent. It will run WoW just fine, my old athlon 2300+ with a 9800PRO ran WoW on medium-high, and the video card was holding the processor back. If you are worried about the processor, you could get a better one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115031
but its about $60 more.
If you can't afford that processor, you could get a cheaper video card like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102034&Tpk=1950gt so that way the total build cost will be about the same.
Also, you can go cheaper on the ram as well http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211165
And for $20 more, you can get a 250gb hard drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148261

Well the memory is cheap after rebates...

You could up to a E2200 for a few. Not bad.

And if your're overclocking, it only makes things better.
