Help - Gaming PC mainly for WoW

[Zogarth]

Hello there, I am helping a friend get a gaming PC that he mainly uses for WoW.

Resolution: 1920x1080

He got mouse/keyboard and screen and all that. No re-useable parts except that. Also he lives in the UK. He would prefer to get his PC pre-assembled but if he can buy the parts and get a lot out of it he will take a shot at assembling it.

He also needs a operating system.

Budget is around 750 pounds, and as I said he lives in the UK.

The PC I linked below would be more than suitable to play wow on decent settings ( not ultra but =\ ) without any problem. Its good for its price and there isn't much of a need to buy a really expensive machine to run just wow. The only issue is that I'm not sure newegg will ship to the UK, but with that said... This is just an example of the kind of PC you want to look for. It won't contain bloatware and is decent enough to get the job done for wow, generally better than what Dell or Acer will send you for the price. Best of luck and merry christmas to ya

Newegg does not deliver to the UK. Also that PC does not really look that good (made better on other sites myself). May be because it comes with mouse/keyboard and stuff which he already has.

I don't really know UK sites well enough to know where to find good and not overpriced prebuilts, sorry.
