My mate is after a computer to play WoW on, but all he will need is

Motherboard
Processor with heatsink and fan
RAM
and Graphics card.

He's got all the rest mouse keyboard screen HDD etc etc.

Budget is no more than £300 tho.............
 
If he can find a little more Id recomend upping the CPU to a Phenom x4, if not then this is best bet really

Oh good find there! Great deal!

Great price, I had a faulty one which I had refunded and apparently these do not overclock well, so if you were to purchase a 6850 and overclock it, it would surpass the 5850 by quite some margin.

I do not know exactly how well these 5850 overclock but its not supposed to be as good as other brands of 5850 so you could end up in a situation where an overclocked 6850 beats this 5850 when overclocked.

The 6850 is better in dx11 as well.
