    Easy quick question

    *Strictly WoW*
    Looking to buy a processor/motherboard/graphics card only to be able to play WoW on low to medium settings on max fps. Note: I mostly only do arenas and bgs, and I would prefer the CPU to be Intel. I have everything else , just need those three components . Low to Medium *60 fps in arena/bg excluding 40man bgs* Thank you.

    budget? kinda way too many options else.
    also what kind of powersupply?

    No budget , but no overkill either. Just for WoW low to medium , just for arenas possibly 60fps. I have a 750w PSU (yes an overkill). I.don't want a 600$ price just for those 3 components. I want to stick to the demand and not go overboard.

    If you only seeking to run at medium-low than you don't need to spend that much.

    Something like this would work just fine keeping a steady 60fps at those settings.

    Or you can go for the i3-3240 for about $50 more.

    If you must insist on using a non-sanctioned sitting apparatus, please consider the tensile strength
    of the materials present in the object in question in comparison to your own mass volumetric density.

    In other words, stop breaking shit with your fat ass.

    For medium settings, yes. WoW is more dependent on the CPU than the GPU so a 550ti would be plenty at medium-ish settings(and save ya some dough).

    The mobo is a bit cheaper but it also has a combo-deal with the i3-3240 that gives ya $13 off the price of both.

    And the 2120 is a very good processor for the price it's at, so that was a easy choice if you want to shave $50 off your build.
