Considering buying this pre-built one from Newegg, let me know if it's worth it:

Additional Comments: Quiet would be nice, but not if it goes over budget.
Also, I have a Gigabyte 660 ti I might try to use unless it's not recommended. It was given to me, but not sure how well it works yet:

That is a computer that is using quite old tech and weak even when it was new. Not to mentoin it's heavily overpriced. Whilst it will run both games it will actually struggle quite a bit in WoW due to the very weak single core performance of the pc.

I'll build you or find you a better pc later once I have a bit more time on my hands but for now do not get it those can be found used for 250$ at max easily.

Wow thanks for suggestion, looks like a good option. If I go with that I'll just get it from Amazon though for $635:

It's the same one, right?

**Didn't include a case but you will need one. There are a lot to choose from and you have about $60 to play around with it.

It's been a decent deal for a OEM system, yes it's the same one. Building one yourself you will get something slower but with more upgrade potential with this you will never be able to overclock but you have upgrade option as is.
