Will this handle WoW/Civ5/6?

[MasterPlan1]

Pretty sure it should cope but wanted to check. Ideally being played on med at 1920x1080.

this will blow the kaveri platform outta the water, same-ish price too.
if you need wifi, just get a dongle

but tbh, with that budget, going 2nd hand isn't a bad idea either (and you have MM access too!)

For only £12 more than the OPs build, this is a much better idea.

for the record civ 5 is running on my mates laptop on a HD4000 integrated graphics so if your short of pennies you can drop the GPU for a couple of weeks

 

[los]

I'd go for the I3 build as well, especially for WOW as it favours intel

 

[Doomedspeed]

Agreed.

 

[MasterPlan1]

How well would the IGP cope on the i3 with WoW\Civ? I know that Haswell's can play WoW\Civ5 in a capable manner, as they both run fine on my Surface.

 

[stulid]

The IGP on a i3 is hugely inferior to any APU, but there is a discrete gpu added above.

To answer the original question, the Kaveri will be fine.

 

[ExRayTed]

Wow will be acceptable - unless you're in large groups - with the settings turned down. Civ 5, not so sure. It'll load up and start in an acceptable manner but I can't see it playing at an acceptable frame rate when the map expansion really starts happening.

 

[ubersonic]

It will handle it but the Intel build shown to you will handle it a fair bit better, I would go for that if I were you.
