I saw this computer and looks really nice for its price, i'm upgrading from a p4 2.8mhz. I'm really planning to upgrade the video card to something great. How good is this computer compared to something else if i drop a little more money?

For the price, this computer is an amazing deal. Although the computer would play WOW, it wouldn't be able to play it on very high settings. The reason for this is the processor's GHz is fairly low. It should be around 2.8GHz at least. Also, the RAM should be upgraded to 4gb of G.SKILL, or other fast RAM. All in all this is a great deal for the price, although it will not play the new games without alot of lag, and delay. Good luck!

This computer will do for WoW, but the video card is not very good IMO.

I run WoW on maxed out settings on my computer, and I have an ATI Radeon HD4870. FPS output is usually around 40.

If you don't want to run it at maxed settings, that computer will do.
If you want to run it at maxed settings, then you should consider something SIGNIFICANTLY better.

You should also try building your own computer, as that enables you to get the exact computer you need.

But that PC is very good. For the price.

Well it does have a PCI-E 16x slot, so a 9600 GT will go in there perfectly, but if the video card is a 2.0 Card then the performance will be lowered but it will still install into the 16x slot. It is a basic computer, nothing fancy. Well think about it why have 1 core have to take on the load of read and writing and fetching data, when you can have two cores to take care of that.
