Intel® Core™ i3-2120
6GB DDR3 10600
500 GB
AMD Radeon HD 7450 1GB

If not, which part should be better?

First thing first, WoW is pretty ~terribly~ optimized for higher end PCs, even tho it can run without issues on toasters with cellphone screen attached on them, even with my high end computer I can't have stable 60+ fps at MAX settings during raids and pvp.

AMD Radeon HD 7450 is a super cheap graphic card, barely better than most intergrated gpus, but it can run WoW without any major issues.

If you want a gaming pc, a prebuilt is usually a bad way to go, mostly because it's either low end gpu for price way beyond their worth, or super high end gpu for a rip off.

Hard Drive 500GB... what type of Hard Drive (7200 ?)

An SSD would be optimal, but its kinda expensive too

yeah apparently 7200 rpm. i know that's awful but loading times aren't as important as fps if it cant be maxed

Thanks, so if I replace the GPU with a PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 will it run on max?

What do you mean "run on max"?  Do you mean 60+ FPS at all times?

You can't replace it that easily because the PSU in prebuilts is shit too, you'd have to replace it too.

I mean be able to play with settings on ultra details.

I've totally forgotten about that, how much watt do you think should the PSU have?

For 7850 even a high quality 400 watts psu would be enough, any decent 500~ watts psu will be fine.

Would this one be fine?
Corsair Builder Series CX 80+ 430 W

Corsair is pretty good isn't it?

Yes, it's good, i3 draws like 70 watts iirc, and 7850 is around 125, even if you cram a million hard drives inside you should still be in the green.

That computer cannot run wow on ultra settings, you're better off building a computer yourself.

You can get a pretty decent computer for around 5500 kroner which is what you would end up on if you bought a new PSU and a GPU.

Changing the PC at this stage is a bit problematic. Won't it run at max with the new GPU?

[Pharaun]

No, WoW is a very CPU dependent game.  The GPU really doesn't matter all that much.

[Nez]

It's also pants on head retarded when it comes to multiple cores.

Like i said in my first post, wow is horribly optimized when it comes to high end pcs.
