World of Warcraft build ^_^

[OdinKensai]

GIGABYTE GA-880GMA-USB3 AM3+ AMD 880G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD Phenom II X6 1075T Thuban 3.0GHz 6 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor

SAPPHIRE 100314-3L Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

With this, would I be able to run World of Warcraft:Cataclysm in Ultra settings?

Depends on the Screen Resolution.

 

[OdinKensai]

Oh, with Patriot Gamer 2 Series 8GB 240-pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800).

 

[OdinKensai]

I have a high def led widescreen monitor.

 

[Rizlla]

What is the resolution? It could be 1920 x 1080 or 1366 x 768 or 1600 x 900.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

I run ultra on an X3 435 (unlocked to a quad)@3.2GHz with a sapphire 5770 sat on an AsRock m3a770de,
Your proposed build is well overkill for W/oW hehe 😛
unless you do anything more cpu intensive with it, I would drop the chip to a 955be
and post the other intended components,monitor resolution psu etc, dont want you buying a pos psu
*Edit what is the resolution of said highdef lcd? 1920x1080? 1650x 1050? check your display properties to find out or post model number
Moto

1920 x 1080

 

[OdinKensai]

And the power supply will be 650 watts lol. I told my boss y said it will be an overkill and his ego just went up.

 

[008Rohit]

Lol, rich boss with ego problems. 😛

A Phenom II X4 955BE + AM3+ board + 4GB RAM + HD 6850 is gonna maxx the game at 1920x1080. Anything more powerful is fine, but will not make in difference in the quality at which the game runs.

 

[OdinKensai]

Oh! I do have one more question... I don't know if you guys play WoW but do you have a rough idea what my Framerate might be? I have a really good Internet connection and my computer will be connected via Ethernet.

 

[Mastervivi10]

It would be more then 60 fps on raids, So no more excuses when you get yelled by your raid leader about standing on them Fire Patches and getting hit with Noobish Coloring mechanics... 😀

 

[OdinKensai]

Hahaha. Maybe I shouldn't tell anyone I got. New computer. Hehehe. Thank you all so much for your help!

Depending on what your budget is, and how much overkill you want to do, but a SSD will make WoW's loading screens a thing of the past.

With a 6750 I can use Ultra settings (1920x1200) except for max view distance, so you should be fine. The 6870 has a lot more bandwidth.

 

[OdinKensai]

Isn't the view distance dependent on ram?

 

[OdinKensai]

And an ssd looks like it might be my next purchase =O

 

[mouse24]

view distance isnt anything to worry about, i almost max wow at 1920 x 1080 with

athlon 2 x3
4g ddr2
5670 512mb
500w antec psu

lol, minus shadows and sunshafts everything is on max
