Which CPU for WOW? (but not for me!)

[Loosecannon]

Ok this seems the best place to put this.

Building a comp for my little brother.

The only game he plays on his computer is WOW (hopefully this will one day change).

I am going AM2+

Do I opt for the 7750 (which I got myslef 2 weeks ago)

or go Phenom 2 940?


Would he see any benefit at all for the extra £140?

It will be having a Ati 4870 1Gb card...

I know it is overkill - but for the price of the special this week I couldn't see why not.

I know the CPU is getting slated a bit - so didnt know if it was worth another CPU in the AM2+ range.

920 is more tempting now - a little cheaper but still quad core if he comes to his senses and trying superior games.

That seem a better choice?

But thats AM3 no?

I thought I had heard that but was not 100% sure as to how well it worked.

In that case I could consider:

Tri Core 920

With this

Biostar 790GX

Especially since the website seems to confirm it works.
