I want to build a PC that can run WoW: WoD on high settings. My budget is up to 800$, but is that much money even necessary to have a computer that will be only used for this game (along with web surfing)? I don't have any intentions of playing other games.
So please, help me build a PC. I have an idea, thanks to the community, of a specific set-up but im not sure if this is overkill. If you have any opinions or changes for my current setup, please criticize:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($179.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock H97 PRO4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($88.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($72.00 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($53.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB Dual-X Video Card ($188.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Case: Corsair SPEC-02 ATX Mid Tower Case ($59.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ NCIX US)
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD/CD Writer ($14.99 @ Newegg)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($86.99 @ NCIX US)
Total: $795.91
Any help would be awesome, since I'm a hardware noob and not sure what brands/specs to choose. Thanks
PS. the recommended settings for this game are currently: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/world-of-warcraft-system-requirements
