Any advice?

Well WoW doesn't have very high system requiremenmts so this will be more than enough to play it, and is somewhat future proof witha budget in mind.

that will do everything you'de need it for, maybe add in another drive or 2 if you need the space, but that drive is 320GB. Plus that leaves you with some cash to buy software...you could get vista if you wanted...if you're not doing heavy gaming this will be fine...

Thank you. I think I'll mix both setups for a crazy yet affordable computer.

ok, if you want a future proofed mobo then use the evga 680i mobo with the E6600, get 2 gig of ram, and a 8800gts

That looks good, I just wish I had $500 to build a new computer.
