hi first off i'm looking at a new pc for wow and keep changing my mind after listening to other peoples opinions, my 1st question is an AMD phenom ii x6 core as good as an i7 and if not is it better than an i5?. People keep telling me wow is all about cpu and i was originally planning on an i3 predator oc'd to 4.2 ghz but then realised it's a lot to spend for an i3, would i be able to play wow on ultra in 25man raid with 30+ fps on a quad core amd or would it be worth the extra 120 pounds to go for the amd 6 core here are the pc's i've chosen both with windows 7 and a gtx 460, or would an i5 be better than both? So far the pc i was opting for was the 6core as i want it to last a long time without having to upgrade it.

lol it's impossible to quit wow especially with cata around the corner. Anyway right now i have a fail setup not even worth mentioning the system it's not even dual core lol.

That cyborg is pointless if ur going to pay that much money then u might as well get the decimator which gives u a much suoerior cpu, cooler, etc even the i5 build would be better. U don't need a gtx 470 to play wow. That's so overkill. Get the krypt with a gtx 460 1024mb and a ssd which will still be cheaper then all the other ones and do rhe same job, alternatively ask ocuk to replace the x4 640 with an 555 and unlock it

i'm putting a gtx 460 in it to save around 60 pounds the whole system is 700 pounds with windows 7 which is my budget and a 6 core is just overkill for wow thats what most people are telling me and i am quite happy to opt for the cyborg tbh.
