system under 1000 pounds to play world of warcraft

I would recommend the 970 option if you want to play WoW on ultra, a 750ti simply isn't going to cut it in real world usage, that chart is complete garbage.

You dont need to be able to read German to see in the charts at 1080P that a 750ti gets around 50fps and the 770 closer to 80fps.

And on the 3rd chart 2 cores or more is desirable.

I do respect your views Stulid however WOW is far more dependent then people make it out to be. If you're wanting to run it at ultra in populated places like raids and popular area then you need a good cpu with high speed threads. Even my 3930k and 780ti can't maintain 60fps everywhere.
 
Sorry to high jack as such but Wow I didn't realise Wow was so high dependent these days, I haven't played in quite awhile and got most discs upto burning crusade, but when I first played wow I had a dell with pentium 4 ht 3ghz 512mb x300 and okay in built up areas like the city's it was really leggy but tolerated it, don't remember settings, been few years then I moved on to a now 5 or 6yr old acer aspire with i5 430m 4gb pc8500 and dedicated mobility radeon hd5000 series of some sort or 4000 and I played wow on pretty much max settings and odd times via hdmi for big screen and I hardly had any lag, mean my Internet was sky and was so so, but used to move around in built up Areas flawlessly.
 
Do you want to play the game or get max FPS? An i3 with 8GB RAM and an R9-280 (or NVidia equivalent) will do just fine. Hell, I run WOW and Archeage along with all the browser, teamspeak, mumble (yes, 2 chat clients) and email in the background on a i5 4670 with a R9 280X and AA needs a lot more grunt than WOW does. (I run all my games in maximized window on a 1900x1200 monitor, so I can swap between them using the task bar, instead of alt tab).

As for 'needing' 60 fps, you don't. Most movies are only 24 FPS. I'm not saying smoother isn't better, I'm saying that you don't necessarily need it to enjoy the game. What you want is to stay above a minimum threshold (25-30 FPS), not constantly be at a maximum.

For the doubters, look at the centre of your monitor and move your hand long the bottom. Bugger me, it's blurred and that's real life!
