Need a new build.

[Oberon]

Hi all,

My better half would like a new build (tower only) to play World of Warcraft. I've been out of the loop with the latest hardware on the market and thought it best I come here and ask for someone to provide a build using one of OCUKs custom PC options. It's best I get her something ready made for purposes of warranty etc. So, her budget is approximately £800-£1000, looking to get the best bang for buck so to speak. Could anyone offer up a good build for playing WoW? Look forward to seeing your responses.

What's the monitor Res and Hz ? As playing £400 for a GPU on a 1080p 60hz would be a waste etc

Thanks for your response. It's a 24 inch, 1080p 60Hz monitor.

Thanks for getting back so quickly, that looks spot on. I'll see if we can get that exact spec built in one of OCUKs custom PC options.

Just post this thread on customer service bit and they'll get back to you

I suggest upping that to an 8 core Ryzen 3700 and DDR4-3600. 8 cores is the future.
