Hi we are vry poor and i am just trying to get her a pc that would run WOW d3 etc on lowest setting... now it seems to do ok but it freezes sometimes.. and wierd stuff like task bar wont go away and flickers when she is on wow.. specs are :

8600 gt 4gb (500 display memory)
I5 661@3.33ghz

8 gig rams ddr3

MB H57M-USB3

Windows pro dx 12

i have a 740 i think that is her old gpu 2gb dd5.. maybe that would be better? tyvm fo help.. came with 23" flatscreen n all.

other than that it seems to run almost as good as my i5 6600 8gb ddr4 z170x lol

Could be a few things, overheating, or failing video card. That 8600 gt is almost useless as a video card now for games.
If you used the original drive, you may want to think about replacing it, a 250 gb SSD should be plenty for a WOW setup.
