Do you think I could run WoW Legion in High settings?

[kimon.tsalikis2000]

Hello, I'm building a new pc, and I was curious of your opinion.
specs will be:

CPU - Intel Pentium G4560
GPU - Asus GTX 1050 / 1050ti
MB - Asus prime B250-plus
RAM - 4gb ddr4 2400MHz
PSU - Aerocool KCAS-500W 80+b

I am making this as a base for future upgrades. Should I choose the TI Gpu ?
Also thinking of adding another 4gb of ram and an ssd. What's your opinion?

Any suggestions are also welcome.

8gb ram is the minimum for a new system .
Also yes, prefer the 1050ti

with these you can run wow in highest settings 1080p

I will use 8gb of ram, and also decided to go with a corsair 450w PSU instead. But, because I am planning to upgrade the gpu(possibly to a 1060) soon. Will the 1050ti have a big difference from the 1050 in high settings? (does not even need to be maximum)

That power supply is junk. Evga B2/B3, seasonic, or corsair CX450m/550m/650m are much better options. What is your hardware budget?

I will be getting a corsair 450, but that is not what I asked.

I was just wondering if the cpu&gpu will be able to handle wow's graphics. I know that it's not nearly the most demanding game nowadays, but I was just hoping someone with a similar rig would have some experiences/tips to share.

I am not really planning on keeping it on ultra graphics on this pc, but I would like to be able to do some content on at least high. 😛

A friend o mine runs PUBG 1080p medium graphics with g4560 and 1050ti , you will have no problem in wow ultra settings

On the graphics card side you'll be fine.
On the CPU side.... if you plan on having recount/skada on while also keeping a detailed warcraftlog of the battle, you'll probably find that CPU to be a problem in situations with lots of action (like pulling a raid boss with bloodlust... less of a problem if your raidteam is small ofcourse)
8GB of ram is what I'd take and I would never go back to running wow on an HDD...SSD all the way

To be fair you did ask for suggestions. 😉 I now am a stickler for quality PSU's, as I have suffered the headache of a junk one dying and taking hardware with it. Yes those are capable, but I would consider a Ryzen 1200, over that pentium G4560, for reasons Maebius mentioned regarding raids and addons.

Well thank you for the suggestions anyway . The thing is, I already have a r5 1600 system. I wanted this build as an intel alternative, low budget build with a possibility of upgrades. I went for g4560 because at ~70$ it seemed like the best price/performance value on a lga1151 socket (next one in my country being the g4600 at ~130$). So that I can upgrade to a 7th gen i5/i7 in the future.
