Fully OC'd on the RAM and GPU side and it's capable of running open world WoW and 5 mans at high settings with shadows set to low and spell effects on low @45fps.
If you are really broke and looking to get a playable fps (yes healers, I'm looking at you!) then the 5800K is highly recommended.
edit: BTW, the 5800K actually reaches like 21% performance increase in WoW fully overclocked provided my fraps is not lying to me (yes I have the results in a spreadsheet imported from fraps) and it is very playable. I haven't been able to test raiding on it as it is really just a bedroom streaming/film PC with a shitty keyboard and mouse so I haven't bothered testing it all the way. Feedback on raid performance from users of A10-5800K users would be very appreciated as I am very excited about this particular chip.
