HI, I'm looking for a computer to play WOW on as well for everyday use. Does this look like it would be good for that?

HP HPE 400Y specifications:
- 3GHz AMD Phenom II 945 Quad-Core
- 8GB (4x2GB) RAM
- 1TB 7200rpm Hard Drive
- SuperMulti DVD Burner
- ATI Radeon HD 5450 512MB Graphics
- 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi
- Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)


World of warcraft Recommendations:
Dual-core processor, such as the Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 X2
- 2 GB RAM
- 256 MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600 or ATI Radeon™ HD 2600 or better
- Multi-button mouse with scroll-wheel

Yeah, that will do it just nicely, you might want to review the supported video card list before purchasing a system.Supported Video Cards

That covers the expansions as well for WOW

I'm not a on-line gamer so I wouldn't know about World of War craft, although my friends play it a lot and they are only running maybe Dual core processors with 3GHz, 2GB Ram and they couldn't be happier. Just take into account that frame rates and performance will drop depending how many players are being rendered on your screen.

The link is dead...?

If it's from Best Buy they've probably overcharged you by a good amount.

and i dont think a hd5450 is gonna be enough for wow with good quality, maybe not even medium especially since i last heard they upgraded the graphics in the last expansion.

^ It should play on low-mid settings, but not much more. A significant portion of their user base is using only IGP's, so they can't push the bottom line up too far.
