$1000-$1500 gaming pc to play WoW on ultra setting with 60 fps

[Harleyj16]

Hello I've been looking around everywhere and I'm just looking for a pc that's $1000-$1500 and will run WoW on ultra settings with 60 fps or more. But I also want to be able to play other AAA titles. Also if anyone has any opinions on the best ultra-wide monitors and a headset for mmos that would be great. Thanks in advance

Are you looking to build your own pc? Or want to buy a pre-made one?

For monitors, asus is always good. What's your budget for a monitor? Have you considered going 1440p?

I wouldn't recommending buying a headset. You'd get much better quality going with headphones and a small microphone that attaches to the cord of the headphones.

world of warcraft is a cpu demanding game. i would go for an i7.

The only thing I would change with this build as long as budget allows, would be to replace the GTX 760, with a 770 or 780. It'll give your PC a bit of a bigger kick graphically and will be able to play newer titles at higher settings for longer.

with that budget you should definitely get the gtx 770 or amd r9 280x instead if your going to want to play other next gen games in 1080p +

The only problem with that is that he isn't playing graphically intensive games, he is playing WOW....

OP did mention wanting to play other "AAA" titles, however. I don't think it'd be a bad idea to bump up on the GPU considering the build you've proposed is at the bottom limit of his budget and could take the additional hit of a higher-priced GPU.

Don't know why I said the 780 that is extreme overkill, I meant 280x instead. This is because of "want to play other AAA titles". If the price is not much more and still towards the lower end of the total amount of the budget why not get a card which would work better long term with future AAA titles. If you do decide you want something more powerful later and you can afford it right now you would spend more $ in the end getting something else rather than spending an extra 75$ now. I just got a 270x (basically same as 760) and it runs everything very well, but I do wish I had waited another week to spend 75$ more for the higher model because it does feel with like it will struggle with games a year from now. I do agree that if it is strictly wow now and in the future then this doesn't matter. Harleyj16, by AAA you do mean games like watch dogs, the division, etc.. right?
