For WoW, I would look into an i3, at minimum. WoW heavily favors Intel/Nvidia builds. I am assuming that this is a prebuilt system? I highly doubt the power supply, in that system, is a good one. You can build a better system, at that price.

do know that the cpu can't go any further. to get a better cpu will need a new motherboard as well. this is really the biggest problem with these cpu's right now. there is nowhere to go from this one. the other parts can be reused but a new cpu will mean a new motherboard donw the line. so long as you understand this and accept it, then you're good to go :)
