    New Computer from CyberPowerPC

    After experience the awful amount of lag and horrible frame rates in the lfr feature I feel as though it is time to upgrade the computer for this patch as well as the upcoming expansion. Would like to get some thoughts on how this build would do. I would like for WoW to be run in Ultra.

    Thank you for any input.

    1. Completely drop the liquid cooling kit, there's no need for it in that system. Not to mention, you would need a better power supply since those systems can consume (up to) 80w.
    2. Take the money saved and buy something other than a gtx 560. Those cards are pretty bad. At the very least, get a gtx 560 ti, or a HD 6950.

    You may want a higher wattage power supply for more headroom. 80+ certified power supplies are also recommended. For gaming, I would also suggest a gtx 560 Ti instead of a standard gtx 560. If you are planning to install the OS + your games onto the SSD, than you may also want to look into a larger sized ssd. Otherwise you can remove it to put the money saved towards upgrading the power supply or video card. If you have any questions you should contact sales for help.
