What kind of WoW experience can I expect from a "Puppy" computer?

[Amnaught]

Total hardware noob here. Never built a computer in my life, planning on winging it with online guides. I'm tempted to indulge and go past my original budget just to get the best gaming experience I can, but just for reference, what can I really expect from a "Puppy", in regards to just World of Warcraft? I wouldn't have to stick to low settings across the board, right?

Parts that can be reused
Do you need an OS?

With Legion to be out soon, I suggest you this (assuming by puppy you mean a cheaper PC)

CPU: Phenom II X4
GPU: AMD R7 260X
RAM: 6 GB
HDD: Around 50gb space.

With this you will be able to play the game in med-low settings.
P.S will suggest you add up to 8gb if you can.

P.S.S Screen resolution matters as well. Are you planing to play on 1080 or above ?
