Hi there. Just got a job so i want to spend first wages on a new pc. (Finally)

Current spec:-

1ghz Amd Athlon
512mb sd ram pc100
20gb hdd
64mb gforce4 mx 440

I only really play wow and would like a new pc that would run it on full on my 19" w/s monitor at 1440x900. I thought something like this.

Not sure on a hard drive tho? I wont need a massive one. 100GB will be more than enough. Anything i can change? What about a case/psu. Dont really want it breaking £500 thats too much for a computer

ok, will go with 2gb.

Any idea or a hard drive / case / psu

Wouldn't have thought i needed a faster cpu / graphics card i have friends with lower spec than that who fly about lag free

If i start upping this and upping that id end up with a duel core and 7900gt lol

Part two would be an upgrade to two gig ram if i felt i need, and a better graphics card.

What you think? (forgot floppy drive and cd drive but wont make much diff on price)

Would the PSU have correct plugs for the mobo?
