DIY please.
As demonstrated here - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/sh...&highlight=wow+username_Shivy011#post27224316 WoW ideally needs a better CPU (dual threaded also), so here's something;
YOUR BASKET
1 x **B Grade** Gigabyte Radeon R9 280 WindForce 3X OC 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express G (GX-143-GI) £129.95
1 x Intel Core i3-4150 3.50GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £92.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-Bit DVD - OEM (WN7-00614) £77.99
1 x TeamGroup Elite Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TPKD38G1600HC11DC01) £50.99
1 x EVGA 600W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply (100-B1-0600-KR) £41.99
1 x Asus H81M-K Intel H81 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard £37.99
1 x Xigmatek Mach Midi-Tower Black £19.99
Total : £451.88 (includes shipping : ).
R9 280 = 7950
or a slightly better CPU
YOUR BASKET
1 x Sapphire Radeon R9 270 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (11220-00-20G) £113.99
1 x Intel Core i3-4350 3.60GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £109.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-Bit DVD - OEM (WN7-00614) £77.99
1 x TeamGroup Elite Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TPKD38G1600HC11DC01) £50.99
1 x EVGA 600W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply (100-B1-0600-KR) £41.99
1 x Asus H81M-K Intel H81 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard £37.99
1 x Xigmatek Mach Midi-Tower Black £19.99
Total : £452.93 (includes shipping : ).
But overall the first spec is probably the best bet, both will happily take i5's or i7's in the future (Haswell or Devil's Canyon iirc)
Would you use Win 10 technical preview? It's pretty much a full OS and free's up around £77.99 for other parts?
