Will this computer run World of Warcraft decently?

I don't really understand specs so if anyone could tell me if this computer will run wow that would be great:

World of Warcraft minimum spec requirements:

If it will run wow what settings are the highest it will run on?

Any info at all would be much appreciated

nope, not even on low. it only has integrated graphics (and a horrible one at that). still, should you decide to buy it then you must upgrade the gpu to at least an hd7750 in order to play the game on low~med.

Thank you for the reply. Are there any computers (even refurbished) for around that price range or under 500 with a monitor and everything else that would be able to run wow? I do not want to get a laptop or I should say my boyfriend doesn't, he had a bad experience with one he got less then 3 years ago and this computer is going to be for him as he wants to play wow with me.

I really don't understand why he wouldn't be able to play wow at least on the lowest settings with that. I would think wow would be getting tons of complaints if a new computer didn't work on it, being that its an almost 10 year game and all and already lost a lot of people. And is anything with integrated graphics bad?

Unless I'm misunderstanding something it seems to list the graphics card as being supported on the world of warcraft site: https://sea.battle.net/support/en/article/wowsupportedvideo as it lists 3 different intel hd graphics ones. It doesn't seem to say anywhere what exact intel hd graphics one the computer I want has though, but there aren't that many on the wikipedia page for them and there are no intel hd graphic cards listed as being unsupported on the wow site. Graphics cards are always what confuse me the most though, I have no idea to tell from numbers what one is better then another.

Also curious is the Intel® HD graphics card better then the ati radeon hd4670 graphics card?

The Intel HD graphics you have is slightly better than HD 2000 (and much worse than the HD4670) which is on the supported list and according to this article the HD 2000 could play it on very low settings and resolution but I would not expect it to always run smoothly http://www.anandtech.com/show/4083/the-sandy-bridge-review-intel-core-i7-2600k-i5-2500k-core-i3-2100-tested/11
The game may be old but have been updated continuously, I used to play it on a Pentium 4 laptop with 768Mb of RAM which would have no chance now. You could build a PC that could run it better on a similar budget but an extra $100-200 would make a huge difference. You will not get a prebuilt PC with an even close to reasonable graphics card.
