My current PC is 13 years old and needs to be replaced before World of Warcraft Shadowlands comes out as it can barely play on one of the lowest settings and still cannot be used in content with more than 10 people.

My goal is to have it last a while (maybe not as long as my current PC). I currently have a tower (Frame) Termaltake View 71TG -(Tempered Glass full tower))

My current PC specs:
Alienware: Area 51 (2008)
12 year old pc
Windows 10 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @2.67 GHz
RAM: 18 GB
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760



New expansion specs I want to make sure I can play this while having more than enough strength to still use digital art programs including 3ds MAX, Unreal Editor (2021 edition), and high spec games in general.

By the time November rolls around, there will be new cpu's from amd and possibly new gpu's from nvidia and amd as well. So making a list now is a fruitless endeavor imo. I suggest you come back a bit before that to make a list.

Btw, sli and crossfire are both pretty much useless/unsupported nowadays, so no real point going that route.

I highly recommend waiting for new hardware specially if spending that high.
