[SOLVED] New PC for WoW at 144hz 1440P

[mana1111]

Hi Guys,

Lately I'm in need of another PC to be used almost exclusively for WoW shadowlands.
The PC should run the game smoothly at 144hz 1440P on this or similar monitor: ViewSonic
One option I came with is simply buy the Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop

The other option is to build this system:

My question is which one will meet my requirements better in your opinion?
Thanks,

You won't be gaming all that well on a 1050Ti @ 1440 so the laptop would suit you better . I'm still in shock that a 1050Ti is a $600 card now... this market is insane!

I just saved you $300

No, don't get the 1050ti if you want to game at 1440. you'd probably need the 1070 or 1060 at minimum to do a decent job (depending on which game)

Hi thanks for your advice.
I got the 1050ti for around $270 so i believe its not that bad of a deal.

If i understand correctly either way this gpu even with amd 3600 wont run world of Warcraft well on 1440p. Is the laptop sufficient for it with its 3050 and i5 10300H?
