Friend wants a PC for WoW

Hello, my friend wants a PC for WoW and Med/max what's the cheapest way to get him into it cause his 6 year old PC broke today.

Don't think he wants to spend to much it's just for movies and playing WoW from time to time.

If someone could help me that would be great!

Thanks folks

A 6 year old PC is probably fine for wow with maybe a small graphics upgrade, i would get him to start a thread or you start one for him to troubleshoot the broken PC, there might be a lot he can salvage from it to save on costs getting another system going if he doesnt have much cash to spend.

If he definately wants a new one then would he or you build it, or would a prebuilt like this be the sort of thing hes after.

His CPU and PSU are both dead he had some AMD CPU can't remember what it was, Old socket though, He was running on internal graphics i think. I'll get him to take a look at that pre built, Cheers!

What's his budget? It's all well saying he doesn't want to spend much but his idea of not much & other peoples idea will be different.

He really only wants to spend £400 :/ I was thinking around the 5-550 range.

Is this a strict 400 budget or can he stretch to 500/550? What is his top limit?

To be honest you don't really need an overly demanding rig to just play WoW, if that's all he wants to do anyway.

He can stretch to £500-£550
