I'll be back in a couple minutes with a possible build for you. Do you need a monitor, a keyboard and mouse and the operating system or do you already have it? And where do you live?

If you already have the Operating System tell me and I could do a little tweak to get better components. This is a really decent build for the price I think.

This is a possible build and it has really nice performance.

The graphics card should be able to handle BF4 in High settings at about 35/40fps so WOW isn't a problem for sure.

It's safe and efficient in my opinion, but you can always ask a friend who understands something about the subject. ;)
