    Good WoW build for under £500?

    I am new to all this PC stuff and ATM i use this pretty old laptop that sometimes only has around 5 fps and tops off at 17 fps at its best times, I am thinking about buying a computer that will allow me to make use of pc gaming for a good price. Id really like a very fast computer (no lag) and decent graphics.
    thanks in advance.
    I wouldn't only use it for WoW but would also buy Battlefield and Skyrim etc.

    This would handle WoW at medium settings for 60FPS+, will dip in raids a bit most likely.
    You could play BF and Skyrim on low-low/medium. Mouse and keyboard would be like 20 pounds more or something.
    PM me weird stuff :3
